After knocking off IUPUI 82-69 in the season-opener, the Xavier Musketeers face off against another opponent from the Hoosier State: the Evansville Purple Aces.
The Musketeers and Aces are actually more familiar with one another than the modern college hoops fan would expect. From 1979 to 1994, both schools were members of the Midwestern City/Collegiate Conference, now known as the Horizon League. Xavier leads the all-time series 26-14, 23-13 since 1949.
