What to Know
We’ve got another exciting Big East matchup on schedule as the UConn Huskies and the Xavier Musketeers are set to tip at 12:00 p.m. ET on January 28th at XL Center. UConn will stroll in with a 14 game home winning streak (dating back to last season), but they should still watch out: the last time they lost at home was their January 25 matchup with Xavier.
Last Saturday, in a tight contest that could have gone either way, the Huskies made off with a 66-65 victory over the Wildcats.
UConn can attribute much of their success to Tristen Newton, who scored 25 points along with six rebounds. The team also got some help courtesy of Cam Spencer, who scored 14 points.
Meanwhile, Xavier unfortunately witnessed the end of their three-game winning streak on Tuesday. They took a 85-78 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Bluejays. Xavier found out winning isn’t easy when you don’t work as a unit and rack up ten fewer assists than your opponent.
Even though the team lost, they still had their share of impressive performances. One of the most dominant came from Dayvion McKnight, who scored 20 points. Another player making a difference was Quincy Olivari, who scored 15 points along with seven rebounds.
Xavier struggled to work…
