The objective for Xavier's men's basketball team is to compete for and win Big East Conference championships.

The Musketeers can't accomplish that on Saturday, but the visit from unbeaten UConn will be revelatory in terms of where the Musketeers stand in that pursuit.

Xavier, ranked No. 22 in the Associated Press poll, has won seven games in a row.
