After coming out victorious in a must-win game against No. 18 Marquette earlier this week, the Huskies (16-6, 7-4) head to Cincinnati to take on No. 25 Xavier Friday night. The win against the Golden Eagles got UConn back on track after two ugly losses at home to Creighton and on the road at Villanova, and now they have a third straight top 25 team waiting for them in the Musketeers (16-7, 6-6 Big East).
The Musketeers, like UConn last week, are currently in a two-game skid. They are fresh off of a tough two-point loss at Seton Hall in which the Pirates were in control the entire way before Xavier came roaring back in the last two minutes.
