Fargo's CBB Wednesday Supreme Annihilator (19-7 Run)

This is a play on the XAVIER MUSKETEERS for our CBB Wednesday Supreme Annihilator. Xavier is coming off a 17-point loss against Creighton to fall back into a tie with Marquette and Providence for first place in the Big East Conference with all three teams being 9-2 and 7-5 overall so it is wide open. This is a big game for both teams tonight with another meeting upcoming in March and the Musketeers need to continue taking care of business at home. They are 11-1 at home with the lone loss coming against Indiana by a bucket as the other conference loss was a bad one at DePaul by a point so they really should not even be in a first place tie at this point. Providence is a pleasant surprise as to where it is right now as it has won and covered three straight games following a pair of losses on the road. The Friars are 4-3 on the road with 6-5 Seton Hall being the best win with Villanova a close second although the Wildcats are nowhere near what it used to be and the others came against 3-8 DePaul, 3-9 Butler and a bad 8-13 overall Rhode Island team. The three losses came against quality opponents TCU, Creighton and Marquette, three sure fire tournament teams by an average of 9.0 ppg and Xavier clearly falls into that group. 10* (664) Xavier Musketeers
