## Resource

Xavier’s 2026-27 Big East schedule is loaded with challenges, starting with a road opener against Marquette and a home clash with Creighton. Non-conference highlights include tough matchups against Tennessee, Mississippi State, Texas A&M, and Virginia in the Battle 4 Atlantis, plus home games vs. Iowa and their annual Crosstown Shootout against UC. The season gets spicy with a father-son coaching showdown against St. John’s — Rick Pitino’s son Richard takes the reins — after SJU beat Xavier by five last year. Closing out with a home date against UConn and a brutal January stretch featuring four conference games in two weeks, Xavier aims to rebound from last year’s last-place finish in the Big East.
