Zags face full-strength Xavier

Mark Few isn't putting much stock in Xavier's recent three-game losing streak. The team wasn't at full strength following the suspensions from a brawl near the end of the Cincinnati game.

For the first time since thumping Cincinnati, the Musketeers will have their complete roster, just in time for the matchup with GU on New Year's Eve. The winner has a pretty good shot of returning to the rankings.

Here's my game preview.
