StatSheet projects Xavier to go to the NIT as a three seed. The Musketeers are #54 in the StatSheet StatRank with a 16-9 overall record and a 7-4 record in the A-10.
Over the last four games, Xavier picked up wins against Rhode Island and George Washington but also suffered losses to RPI #18 Temple and RPI #20 Memphis.
Xavier is not that good against top competition, with a 7-8 record against the RPI Top 100 that includes a 2-6 record against the RPI Top 50 and no record against AP ranked teams. While the Musketeers have two quality wins including RPI #46 St. Joseph's (PA) and RPI #27 Vanderbilt, they're also dinged with a bad loss to RPI #194 Hawaii.
