Xavier v. Butler: preview, matchups, keys to the game

Last time out, Xavier climbed on up out of the grave against Providence, with Colby Jones making the resurrection complete by sticking a game-winning three with a tenth of a second left of the clock. In the game before that, the Muskies used a 17-1 second-half run to turn a brewing upset against St. John's into a semi-comfortable win. Since those two games, X has been dormant for 19 20 days. Teams have done everything from meltdown after breaks to hit the ground running, so I have no idea what to expect as Xavier shakes off the rust in the rustiest building in the Big East.
