The Big East took center stage Wednesday Night as #5 Xavier hosted #1 Villanova in a battle for the top spot in one of the NCAA's strongest conferences. Both teams entered the game with records of 24-3 as Villanova has been atop the Top 25 rankings for three weeks. Xavier meanwhile came in looking to avenge a 31-point loss on New Year's Eve loss in Philadelphia. Villanova was the only team that the Musketeers had not beaten since joining the reassembled Big East in 2013. That all would change at the Cintas Center in Cincinnati, as Xavier controlled the game from the start, taking a 40-37 halftime lead. The Musketeers were even stronger in the second half scoring 50 points as they pulled away to a solid 90-83 win. Leading the way for Xavier was Edmond Sumner who had 19 points with six rebounds and nine assists while J.P. Macura matched his 19 points off the bench.
