Providence and Xavier square off on Saturday afternoon at the Cintas Center in Cincinnati. The Friars are looking to finish off their second straight season sweep after defeating the Georgetown Hoyas on Wednesday at the Verizon Center. Providence has also swept Creighton and been swept by St. John’s. Have to love the Big East.

This game opened with the Friars as a road underdog at +7.5.
