Xavier basketball's 2017-18 schedule is slowly coming into focus, and the few known fixtures on the schedule are all marquee match-ups so far.
The latest schedule addition, according to a Saturday report from FanRagSports.com, stated the Musketeers will travel Nov. 16 to play the Wisconsin Badgers.
The game is a rematch of the 2016 first-weekend NCAA Tournament game that saw the Musketeers dispatched by the Badgers on a buzzer-beater shot, although most of the players involved in that game have since moved on.
Xavier was excluded from the 2016 Gavitt Games, an eight-game series between the Big East and Big Ten to launch college hoops season, and hasn't participated in the event since a road upset of nationally-ranked Michigan in November 2015.
