Xavier (6-4) looks to bounce back from last Saturday's Crosstown Shootout loss with a win over Eastern Kentucky (6-4) Saturday night (8 p.m., FS1) at the Cintas Center.
Eastern Kentucky 17, Xavier 14, 12:05 first half – Xavier's letting EKU shoot 50 percent from the floor with a lot of good looks right around the basket.
Offensively, Xavier hasn't had much rhythm. The Musketeers are not shooting well from the perimeter and they've gotten away from working the ball inside.
EKU star player Nick Mayo has two fouls but Xavier has allowed him to stay on the floor by not attacking him in the low post.
