STORRS, Conn. u2012 Maybe the toughest three-game stretch of the season starts on Wednesday for Xavier's men's basketball team, and it could ultimately decide whether the Musketeers can hang on to first place in the Big East Conference.
Xavier's week away from home begins on Wednesday at Gampel Pavilion against No. 19 UConn.
The Huskies stubbed their toe since the first meeting with Xavier when the Musketeers handed UConn its first loss of the season, and they've since lost four of their last six games in conference play, but they're coming off a 30-point win over Butler.
