After winning in both matchups versus Xavier in 2020, the Butler men’s basketball team is hoping the third time’s the charm after losing both meetings with the Musketeers. Since playing some of their best basketball of the season in wins over Seton Hall and Villanova, Butler allowed 93 points in a loss at Creighton on Saturday.
