The Setting
Xavier concludes their participation in the Gavitt Games by hosting Wisconsin on Tuesday night at the Cintas Center. Xavier last faced Wisconsin on November 16, 2017, at the Kohl Center. Xavier defeated Wisconsin 80-70. Xavier enters the contest after holding off the University of Evansville on Saturday. Xavier was paced by Tyrique Jones who had 19 points and 20 rebounds in the win.
Wisconsin enters the game off an 85-63 victory over Coppin State. Ethan Happ recorded a triple-double scoring 10points, 11 rebounds, and 12 assists.
What to Watch
Xavier: The caliber of competition increases on Tuesday, will Xavier? What kind of minutes can the team expect out of its' starters in their 3rd game in seven days? How will the Musketeers guard Ethan Happ and the generally slower pace of play that Wisconsin invites? How will Xavier guard both Ethan Happ and Trice D'Mitrik (Huber Heights, Ohio)?
Wisconsin: Will Wisconsin be able to dictate the pace of play and stop Xavier's preference to get out and run. Can Wisconsin hit 3 point shots with the frequency that Evansville did on Saturday?
Last Game:
Xavier defeated Evansville on Homecoming, 91-85 (Link).
Wisconsin defeated Coppin State, 85-63 (Link).

Game Thread: Xavier v. Wisconsin (Gavitt Games) Non Conference Game #3
"He's a little bit ball-dominant, he needs to have the ball in his hands, and he's not a good shooter." Ball-dominant … isn't that a nice way of calling someone a ball hog? Where is my Jay Bilas Thesaurus?

Most everyone here has blasted our poor defense in the 1st two, and with good reason but I want to start this game thread accentuating the positive....our OFFENSE!! It's going to take a helluva defense to beat us because we have 6 guys that can score 20 on any given day. Would love to see the Badgers coaches trying to game plan for Tyrique Jones....HeHeHe

Rubbermatch, got a chance to win the series, I'm hoping we look sharp out there, also anybody else think a 6:30 tip time is super weird?

Do this all the time when I have to. Will have to do this for Auburn. I have to text all Xavier fan friends not to text me anything related to the game and then just stay off social media/sports sites. I am usually successful except one time several years ago when a co worker at the time blew the XU/UD game score for me right as I was getting ready to leave. "Tough loss for X huh?" FML.
"I’m willing to sacrifice everything for this team. I’m going to dive for every loose ball, close out harder on every shot, block out for every rebound. I’m going to play harder than I’ve ever played. And I need you all to follow me." -MB '17
