At 8:30pm ET, my Cake-Walk selection is on Xavier. This game will be played at Suncoast Credit Union Arena, in Fort Meyers Florida. Everything went right for the Gamecocks last season. They're still pretty good but they're going to take a step back from last season. The Gamecocks lost outright to North Florida and they were crushed by Indiana. Not so for Xavier. Unlike South Carolina, the Musketeers had everything go wrong for them last year. They're going to be much better this season and are already off to a 5-0 start. All 5 wins came by 9 or more. The opponents were pretty weak but the list did include a respectable Wake Forest team and the Musketeers beat them by 15. Beating an SEC team which is coming off a big season is important to Coach Miller. He's got a deep and talented team and they will improve to 6-0 with an impressive victory on Monday night.
