St. Joseph's at Xavier

Saint Joseph’s is playing well as Phil Martelli has once again put together a solid team, but this by far will be the toughest road test of the season for the Hawks. Xavier has been punishing all comers on their home court this season. They have already beaten a very good Kansas State team here by 26, Virginia by 38, Dayton by 26, and have won each of their last seven home games by double-digits, and 12 of their 13 wins have come by double-digits, with an average margin of 25.5 points per game. They present matchup problems all over the court and if you zone them they drop 40% of their 3's. Could be a long day for Phil Martelli, at this point it is impossible to play against this Xavier team on their home floor.
