Providence is fighting for the top spot in the Big East and a higher seed in the tournament so every win counts. They are 14-1 at home on the season. Xavier has not been a Jekyll and Hyde team this season who lately have been down double digits at some point in the game only to make the game competitive or win. Xavier has covered just times in their last 12 games. Providence has covered the number in nine of the last 11 meetings between these two teams. Providence has just found ways to win games and this one will be no exception.

Play on Providence. This is an 8* play,
