Senior Night at Cintas Center: Xavier basketball hosts Butler in Big East regular-season finale

The final regular-season game in Big East Conference play is Saturday night at Cintas Center (8:30 p.m., Fox Sports 1) between Xavier and Butler.

Butler took the first meeting, 66-61, over Xavier and the Musketeers would be wise to even the slate. It's a game with major implications for next week's Big East Tournament and the NCAA Tournament.

In the first meeting, Feb. 12 at Butler, the Musketeers got off to a slow start and roughly two-thirds of Xavier's points scored in that game came from Naji Marshall and Tyrique Jones.
