Who's Playing

Central Michigan @ Xavier

Current Records: Central Michigan 1-5; Xavier 5-1

What to Know

The Central Michigan Chippewas' road trip will continue as they head to Cintas Center at 6:30 p.m. ET Wednesday to face off against the Xavier Musketeers. Xavier should still be feeling good after a win, while the Chippewas will be looking to get back in the win column.

CMU suffered a grim 85-57 defeat to the Kentucky Wildcats on Monday.

Meanwhile, the Musketeers escaped with a win last week against the Virginia Tech Hokies by the margin of a single free throw, 59-58. Guard Nate Johnson took over for Xavier, finishing with 30 points (a whopping 51% of their total).

CMU is the clear underdog, so they're hoping it's the size of the fight that determines this one. Those who got lucky with them against the spread on Monday might want to hold off on placing bets this time since the team has yet to string together back-to-back wins against the spread.

CMU is now 1-5 while Xavier sits at a mirror-image 5-1. The Musketeers are 3-1 after wins this season, and the Chippewas are 1-3 after losses.
