Notre Dame Fighting Irish vs Xavier Musketeers Point Spread Picks

This is an interesting matchup. Each of these teams had defining moments in their seasons, as Notre Dame lost their top scorer in Tim Abromaitis to a season-ending knee injury. However, that injury brought the team together, and from that point on the Irish began to play team basketball, and played at a much higher level. Xavier got into a brawl with in-state rival Cincinnati, leading to player suspensions and the team never quite made it back to what they were before the suspensions. The Musketeers were 8-0 after that Cincinnati game, but from that point on went a pedestrian 13-12. Xavier is now 2-9-2 ATS in their last 13 after a loss and 1-7 ATS in their last eight at a neutral site. The Irish are 4-0 ATS in their last four vs. the A-10, get the midnight St. Patrick's Day off to a good start with the win and cover.
