Xavier in Direct TV Classic this Thanksgiving

This Thanksgiving weekend, Xavier will be participating in the Direct TV/ Aneheim Classic.  Here is a look at the tournament and links to all the previews and information you need to follow the Musketeers!

Xavier opens the tournament on Thanksgiving, at 2:00 p.m., versus Pacific.  Pacific is coming of an 11-19 season and hail from the Big West conference.  They opened up the 2012 season with a win over Holy Names but since have lost back to back games to Fresno State and Oral Roberts.  They return all of their starters from 2011 and despite their two losses, look to be better than last year.  Xavier is definitely the favorite but they will not want to overlook this veteran team. 

Here is complete preview and projections from ESPN.
