CINCINNATI --- Xavier University announced its 2020-21 non-conference men's basketball schedule today, including the season-opening Xavier Invitational on Nov. 25-27 at Cintas Center.
Xavier opens the 2020-21 slate with only the second-ever in-season tournament hosted by the Musketeers and its first-ever Xavier Invitational. XU, which hosted and won the 2003 BCA Classic at Cintas Center, hosted the first round of the preseason NIT in 1988 at Riverfront Coliseum and in 2002 at Cintas Center. XU hosted two games in the 2007 Chicago Challenge as well as non-bracketed opening round action in the 2019 Charleston Classic and the 2016 Tire Pros Invitational.
