Xavier men's basketball's Big East schedule was released Tuesday, cementing a 31-game slate that features a pair of conference match-ups against defending national champion Villanova.
The Big East previously provided a taste of the conference schedule by revealing pairings for its hoops marathon Jan. 16. Xavier plays the second outing in that five-game stretch, hosting Creighton at 2 p.m. at Cintas Center.
The Musketeers' first Big East game is at home, Dec. 28 against Providence. It marks the start of an 18-game league gauntlet in which Xavier plays each conference opponent twice, home and away.
