The reigning national champions look every bit as formidable as they did last season, but another stiff test awaits No. 4 UConn as it takes on upset-minded Xavier on Wednesday night.
After dropping their Big East opener on the road against Seton Hall, the Huskies have rattled off three consecutive conference wins; most recently, they notched a comeback victory over Butler on Friday night. Their success comes without star center Donovan Clingan, who remains sidelined with a tendon injury in his right foot.
Guards Cam Spencer and Tristen Newton have helped pick up the slack amid Clingan’s absence, each averaging over 15 points per game. Newton also leads the team with 6.5 rebounds and 5.7 assists per contest.
Xavier comes in at an even 7-7, on the heels of a 1-2 start to Big East play. But the Musketeers are certainly battle-tested. When they take the floor against UConn, it will mark the the third time that they have played one of the nation’s top teams; earlier this season, they lost to Purdue and Houston, respectively.
Rice transfer Quincy Olivari averages 17.9 points per game to pace the Musketeers. In their lone Big East victory over Seton Hall, Olivari dazzled with 29 points.
