KP has Xavier as the #20 team in the county. They are 8-2 with losses to Baylor and Colorado. Xavier's top 100 wins are against Clemson, Utah and Northern Iowa twice.
Xavier's strength is rebounding they are #29 in the country in getting offensive boards and #9 in preventing their opponent for getting offensive boards. Xavier is also good at forcing turnovers on defense. They are not a great shooting team (32.5% from 3 #243 in the country). They create match up problems as Xavier starting guards are 6-5 and 6-6. Xavier is #11 in height. In fact, their starting 5 goes: 6-5,6-6, 6-6,6-6,6-9. Seems like WF would play a lot of zone as Xavier doesn't shoot well, and we have some man to man matchup issues.
We need Collins to stay out of foul trouble, WF needs to keep X off the boards, shoot well, and hope Xavier continues to shoot poorly. Tough game, but good prep for ACC games.
