Why the Xavier Musketeers will win

  • IU Indy has lost each of its last seven road games.
  • Xavier has won 43 of its last 47 games against non-Conference opponents at Cintas Center.
  • IU Indy has lost the first half in each of its last seven road games against non-AP-ranked opponents.

Xavier vs IUPUI Prediction

The IUPUI Jaguars didn’t play anybody in their season opener, so the jury is still out on what they’re capable of as a team. The Xavier Musketeers could shoot better than they did in their first effort, but they still comfortably won, ad the experience is there for things to get better. There are no excuses for Xavier in this spot at home. This should be an easy win on Friday night. Massive line, but I’ll lay it anyway.
