Xavier vs. Providence Predictions
Xavier had an interesting time last week, as the Musketeers beat UConn 82-79 on the road then got flattened 84-67 at Creighton. Meanwhile, Providence picked up a 70-65 road win at Villanova over the weekend. Don’t let that fool you. The Friars haven’t been great away from home this season. They lost at Creighton and Marquette, questioning their ability to beat a high-end Big East team on the road. Xavier definitely qualifies as such.
Even though Xavier got embarrassed last time out, the Musketeers have a chance to bounce back at home. Xavier is 11-1 this season at the Cintas Center, including some big victories over UConn, Creighton, and Marquette in front of their home fans. There’s a good chance Providence is added to that list on Wednesday, so take Xavier to win by more than 3.5 points.
