Travis Steele previews Xavier's matchup Saturday against No. 12 Villanova at Cintas Center Cincinnati Enquirer
Saturday when No. 12 Villanova takes the floor against Xavier at Cintas Center (2:30 p.m., Fox), it will be a rematch of the game that opened Big East Conference play earlier this season a few months ago.
Villanova took the first meeting at Finneran Pavilion, 68-62.
Since then, Xavier head coach Travis Steele said his team's leadership has improved and so have the results.
The Musketeers have to control the glass and they can't allow uncontested rhythm 3s from Villanova.
