The Stakes
Both teams enter this contest with a 2-0 record, looking for a resume building victory against a top tier team from another power conference. If Xavier were to knock off the 24th ranked Michigan squad, they would likely earn a spot in next week's Top 25 rankings. Additionally, the Big 10 is currently leading the Gavitt Tipoff Games 4-3, so an Xavier victory would even up the series.
