KEY GAME INFORMATION

VILLANOVA: Last season: 36-4, won third national championship in school history.
Nickname: Wildcats
Coach: Jay Wright
Conference: Big East
Who's gone: Point guard Jalen Brunson, F Omari Spellman, F Mikal Bridges, G Donte DiVincenzo are all in the NBA.
Who's back: Guard Phil Booth, the last major link to the 2016 title team, returns for a fifth season. He averaged 10 points and made 10 starts for the Big East Tournament title team. He's going to be counted on to lead a team that will try and develop four sophomores into stars. Collin Gillespie, Jermaine Samuels, Dylan Painter and Dhamir Cosby-Roundtree all need to emerge into solid rotation players for the Wildcats to have a shot at a repeat.
Who's new: Freshman Jahvon Quinerly, a five-star recruit, is expected to follow Brunson as Villanova's next great point guard and graduate transfer Joe Cremo is expected to provide needed depth after he scored 1,469 points in three years at Albany.
The Skinny: The Wildcats are ranked ninth in The AP Top 25 and should again contend to win the Big East. The Wildcats are reloading after losing four stars to the NBA. But an elite program like Villanova just replaces talent with talent and the Wildcats are expected to keep rolling deep into March.
Expectations: Las Vegas oddsmakers have Villanova as a 10-1 shot to win the NCAA Tournament. But no team has been able to repeat since Florida in 2006 and 2007.

XAVIER: Last season: 29-6, lost to Florida State in second round of NCAA Tournament.
Nickname: Musketeers.
Coach: Travis Steele.
Conference: Big East.
Who's gone: Coach Chris Mack (Louisville), guard Trevon Bluiett, guard J.P. Macura, forward Kerem Kanter, forward Kaiser Gates, forward Sean O'Mara.
Who's back: Junior point guard Quentin Goodin (8.7 point per game) is Xavier's most experienced returning player and will be one of the team's leaders, along with sophomore forward Naji Marshall, who started 18 games last season. Marshall averaged 7.7 points and is Xavier's most diverse offensive player. Forward Tyrique Jones (7 ppg, 4.5 rebounds) is counted on to play a bigger scoring role on the front line. Sophomore guard Paul Scruggs (4.9 ppg) also moves into an expanded role.
Who's new: Three graduate students. Forward Zach Hankins set school records for blocked shots and field goal percentage at Ferris State. Guard Ryan Welage set the school record for 3-pointers in three seasons at San Jose State. Guard Kyle Castlin is a team captain after coming over from Columbia, where he averaged 10.5 points and 3.8 rebounds per game.
The Skinny: Xavier is in a transition season with a new head coach and a significantly different roster. The Musketeers lost five of their top seven scorers including Bluiett, who averaged 19.3 points per game. Xavier was ranked as high as No. 3 last season, won its first Big East regular season title and got its first No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament before blowing a 12-point lead and losing in the second round. Steele was Mack's top assistant and moved up when Mack went to Louisville.
Expectations: Las Vegas oddsmakers have Xavier as a long shot to win the NCAA Tournament at 120-1, on par with Louisville, St. John's and Butler. Defending national champion Villanova is one of the top favorites at 10-1.

PREVIEW

No. 17 Villanova, looking to end slump, visits Xavier

Xavier is savoring a surge of momentum thanks to a three-game win streak that has pushed its record above .500.

The Musketeers (14-13, 6-8 Big East) sense another chance to redefine their season when they host No. 17 Villanova (20-7, 11-3) in a conference clash Sunday afternoon in Cincinnati.

Xavier is coming off wins over Creighton, Providence and Seton Hall and is looking to boost its resume for a postseason tournament.

"We've been preaching all year, 'Just us,'" Xavier forward Tyrique Jones, who had 18 points and 15 rebounds Wednesday in a road win over the Pirates, said in comments published by the Cincinnati Enquirer. "It's really starting to show in the way how we played (in our last game). Everybody's really been counting us out.

"We had a rough season so far. We're just trying to put together some wins. We're just catching a roll right now. We're trying to take it one day at a time, competing every day in practice, trying to get better."

Meanwhile, Villanova is seeking a reason to feel good after back-to-back losses against St. John's and Georgetown. The Wildcats have dropped three of their past four games, with all three of the setbacks coming on the road.

The recent skid represents unfamiliar territory for Villanova, which is mired in its first losing streak within the Big East since the conference's reconfiguration in 2013. Since the league switched to a 10-team setup, the Wildcats are 88-16 in regular-season conference action.

Villanova is led in scoring by Phil Booth, who is averaging 18.6 points per game on 44.1 percent shooting. Teammates Eric Paschall (17.3 points per game) and Collin Gillespie (11.4) also are averaging in double digits.

Freshman Saddiq Bey also has provided Villanova with a boost. He is averaging 8.9 points and 5.8 rebounds during Big East play, both up slightly from his overall averages, and he recently was named the conference's rookie of the week for the first time.

Xavier has four players who are averaging in double digits: Naji Marshall (14.3 points per game), Paul Scruggs (12.0), Quentin Goodin (11.7) and Jones (11.5). Zach Hankins is not far off at 9.9 points per contest.

Gillespie will look to get back on track for Villanova after struggling in his past four contests. The sophomore has shot 7 of 34 (20.6 percent) from the field and 4 of 25 (16 percent) from beyond the arc during that stretch.

"You would (worry) with certain people, but not him," Villanova coach Jay Wright said in comments published by the Philadelphia Daily News. "He's such a confident kid, and he's got a good perspective. He gets it. He just gets it, that sometimes he's going to go through a streak like that."

This is the second and final regular-season meeting between the teams. Villanova won 85-75 on its home court Jan. 18 thanks in large part to 22 points and five assists from Booth.

Xavier is 10-5 on its home court. Villanova is 5-5 on the road.
