Xavier has 18 wins and win or lose here at Creighton, will finish sixth in the Big East. However, a win makes the Musketeers 9-9 in conference play, something the NCAA Tournament selection committee could take into consideration. Xavier needs here plus the Musketeers haven't played since last Saturday, when they were beaten at home by Villanova, 78-66. They are well rested and plenty of time to prepare for this game.
