CINCINNATI --- The Xavier University Musketeers, 13-14 overall and 7-9 in the BIG EAST Conference, host the DePaul University Blue Demons, 3-24 overall and 0-16 in the BIG EAST, on Wednesday night at Cintas Center.

Xavier will represent the Cincinnati Lion Tamers and DePaul the Savoy Big 5 in keeping with the BIG EAST's commitment to BE the Change.

Must win games are when you are fighting for post season position. This is more of a must not lose game just to not be the team that lost to DePaul

I'm thinking if Ciani was hurt, we will need to play Lazar again.

Getting out rebounded 21-18 at the half. I don’t think I’d like to be in the locker room right about now.
