The No. 17-ranked Xavier University men’s basketball team again enters the season with high expectations.

The Musketeers open the 2017-18 non-conference portion of their schedule against Morehead State of the Ohio Valley Conference Friday night at Cintas Center (7 p.m).

The contest is less about the expected comfortable victory for a Xavier squad tipped by some experts as a possible national championship contender.
