The Xavier Musketeers paid a heavy price with a win at Cincinnati to move them to 8-0. It was an ugly game marred with a brawl that resulted in Xavier players serving suspensions. The Musketeers never seemed to recover from that, and have since gone a disappointing 10-10. It has been a huge year in St. Louis where the Billikens are 22-6 and headed to the big dance. The mark has been built on a conservative offense, taking good shots and a stifling defense that has seen opponents held in the 30s on three occasions, the 40s on five occasions. Overall, opponents have been held to 60 or less 15 times this season. The patient offense and tough defense has seen them play to an 8-2 UNDER mark at home in their last 10 vs. a team with a losing road record. St. Louis is also 14-6 to the UNDER as a favorite of 7-12.5 in their last 20. Play this one UNDER the total.

Pro Picks
Saint Louis at Xavier
The Xavier Musketeers opened the season at 8-0, but the last of those eight wins finished ugly with a brawl vs. instate rival Cincinnati and suspensions that followed. This team has had trouble getting back to the same level since and have gone 5-6. The good news is the effort and energy is back on the defensive end of the court as they have allowed their last three opponents just an average of 56.3ppg on home hardwood. St. Louis is certainly no stranger to defensive intensity having held ten opponents to the 50s or less this season. Xavier has been 5-0 to the UNDER as home chalk of less than seven with four of the last five here playing to the UNDER as well. Play this one UNDER the total.
