MAUI – In its Maui Jim Maui Invitational finale, Xavier (2-3) looks to snap a three-game losing streak against Illinois (1-3), a team also looking to end a three-game skid.
In Xavier's last three losses, the Musketeers have let each of their opponents' star players do the most damage. Against Wisconsin, it was Ethan Happ. Against Auburn, it was guards Bryce Brown and Jared Harper, and against San Diego State, it was Jalen McDaniels.
That means Xavier has to keep Illinois guards Trent Frazier (18.0 points per game) and Ayo Dosunmu (15.5) in check.
