Two teams still trying to find their footing in Big East play meet Tuesday night when Villanova visits Xavier in Cincinnati. Villanova (11-6, 4-2 Big East) is coming off an 80-68 loss to St. John's on Saturday night in New York. That took some wind out of the Wildcats' sails after defeating then-No. 9 UConn at home last Wednesday and winning three straight games in Big East play. While Eric Dixon has rightfully garnered most of the headlines for Villanova with his Division I-leading 25.3 points per game, point guard Wooga Poplar has started to take command of the offense as he has settled into his role, averaging 14.
