CHARLESTON, S.C. – Friday night's Charleston Classic semifinal (ESPNU, 55KRC-AM) will be the second meeting all-time between the Xavier Musketeers and the UConn Huskies, but it will also be the start of a new rivalry with UConn set to rejoin the Big East Conference next season.
The only other time these have met was in the second round of the 1991 NCAA Tournament and UConn came away with the win.
