The Florida Gators still have some showing and proving to do, and that loss to FAU is still a little difficult to forget. The Xavier Musketeers are off to a good start, especially offensively, and they just went toe to toe with an excellent Indiana squad. It’s just a lot easier to feel more confident in Xavier, the more proven squad up to this point. Give me the Musketeers and the small chalk.
