Siena Saints vs Xavier Musketeers Prediction, Odds and Picks for Wednesday, 11/20/24

Xavier has been perfect at home so far this season, and they’ll be looking to make it five wins in a row as they welcome the Siena Saints on Wednesday night.  Xavier has been terrific in their first four games of the season, averaging 85.3 points per game, and only allowing their opponents to score 66.5.  As for the Saints, they are averaging 74 points per game, while giving up 73.8 points per game in their first four games of the season.  As both teams have had a decent start to the season, only one team will emerge victorious tonight, which brings us into our Siena vs Xavier prediction. 

The Big East is loaded with talent, and I think Xavier could end up at the top of the standings by the end of the season.  Xavier has players like Ryan Conwell who is averaging 18.8 points per game, Zach Freemantle averaging 17.0 points per game, and Dayvion McKnight with 13.5 points per game. The Saints also have plenty of players who can score, too.  Justice Shoats is averaging 19.8 points per game, Major Freeman with 14.5, and Brenda Coyle with 13.5.  Shoats and this Saints team will pressure Xavier, aiming to disrupt their ability to move the ball and limit the wide-open shots.  At the end of the day, Xavier is more talented on paper compared to the Saints, plus the Musketeers defense will be able to disrupt Siena’s flow and get them uncomfortable at times, forcing turnovers that Xavier will capitalize on. But at the end of the day, I think Siena will be able to get a few turnovers themselves and keep this game closer than most would think, making them my best bet of the day.
