Xavier’s Trevon Bluiett Doubtful for Tonight’s Game

1 Comment

It looks like Xavier will be without their leading scorer on Wednesday night at the Dunkin’ Donuts Center. Chris Mack told FanragSports.com’s Jon Rothstein that Trevon Bluiett is “doubtful” against the Friars tonight. This news comes a few hours after the betting line opened late with Providence showing as a 3-point favorite, which didn’t line up with the analytics sites like Kenpom.com who was predicting a 70-69 Xavier victory. A 4-point difference in the Kenpom number and Vegas is rare and was a clue that Bluiett would at best be limited in this game. Since this news broke the line has climbed to Providence being favored by 5 and even 5.5 points in some places.

Happy Monday, Friar fans! While some of you may be nursing an Alumni & Family Weekend hangover I’ll do my best to give you some news and notes from around the Providence basketball world to get you caught up on the on-court product and recent recruiting tidbits. Obviously Saturday’s win was a big one against 22nd-ranked Butler in front of a sold-out crowd at the Dunk, but the Friars still have a lot of work left to do if they want to keep dancing in March for a fourth straight season.
