Opponents have created too many second-chance looks, and slow starts have put the Musketeers behind early in their losses. Still, the defense has generated 8 steals per game. Returning to the Cintas Center gives Xavier a distinct advantage against the visiting Monarchs. Make sure you know about how the fans are looking on prediction markets for Xavier with the Kickr promo code.

Old Dominion vs Xavier Prediction

Old Dominion brings better rebounding and two reliable scorers, but road performance has been a glaring issue. Xavier’s pressure defense and improved shot quality at home will carry the Musketeers to the win. Look for Old Dominion to hang around in the first half, but Xavier will extend its lead after the break. Final Score Prediction: Xavier Musketeers win and cover ATS, 86–66.
