The chance for Xavier's second straight win in Big East Conference play begins at noon Sunday against Butler.
Head coach Travis Steele confirmed that starting point guard Quentin Goodin will not play today as he continues to work his way back from a knee injury.
This will be the Musketeers' second straight game without Goodin and the fourth game this season without the 6-foot-4 guard.
Butler 54, Xavier 47, 8:41 second half – Xavier trailed by as many as 12 in the second half and just had the lead cut to 49-47 but the Musketeers have gone scoreless over the last two and a half minutes.
