PHILADELPHIA – Since joining the Big East Conference, Xavier's been unable to beat Villanova on the road.
The Musketeers (11-7, 3-2 Big East) have a shot to end that misery tonight (8:30 p.m., FS1). Villanova (13-4, 4-0), currently on a five-game win streak, jumped back into the most recent AP Top-25 poll at No. 22.
Villanova 74, Xavier 63, 3:54 second half – For about 30 minutes, Xavier did everything it could to hang with Villanova.
Since Xavier cut it to one point with 11 minutes left, Villanova's been on fire offensively.
