LIVESTREAM (FSOHIO)
X at DePaul. Final game of the regular season. Make it count! #GameDayGuide #Team95 pic.twitter.com/QvpnpM3PCl

Three Keys:
- Do: If Xavier loses this game they likely have to make it to at least the finals of the Big East tournament and then possibly even with that game. That doesn't feel likely right now.
- Not: Xavier is already in a spot where they have to play DePaul twice before getting a game that is going to move the needle with committee at all. Losing come Wednesday is obviously the end, but dropping either of them before likely meeting Butler spells disaster.
- Lose: The Musketeers need to win three straight. There is no excuse, no matter how badly things are going, for losing to DePaul. Eamonn Brennan wondered yesterday how deep rock bottom goes for Xavier. If it goes as deep as losing to DePaul, it's time to start scouting that NIT bracket.
