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 64, Xavier 54, 4:00 second half – Butler's made six of its nine 3-point attempts in the second half, making it hard for Xavier to narrow the gap, especially considering Xavier's 2 of 12 from beyond the arc in the second half.
