For the first time this season, all 10 BIG EAST teams will be in action on the same day.
Saturday’s slate starts with a pair of games at noon ET. No. 5 Xavier plays at Providence on FOX with the Musketeers (15-1) taking a 10-game winning streak into the contest. They were the first team in the nation to reach 15 wins. Providence (10-6, 1-2) is coming off a 95-90 overtime loss to Marquette. The Friars are 4-1 all-time against Xavier at home and won last year’s meeting at the Dunkin’ Donuts Center 75-63.
The other noon contest is Creighton at Georgetown on FSN.
