Here’s how to watch Saturday’s matchup between the No. 15 Xavier Musketeers and No. 12 Butler Bulldogs online.
The No. 15 Xavier Musketeers will try to pick up a marquee road victory when they visit the No. 12 Butler Bulldogs on Saturday afternoon at Hinkle Fieldhouse.
Despite a shaky stretch in early December, the Musketeers are headed for another high seed in the NCAA Tournament with a mark of 13-3 so far. Xavier is in third place with a record of 3-1 in the early stages of Big East play, although it will need to bounce back from a 79-54 blowout loss at Villanova on Tuesday.
The good news for the Musketeers is that guard Myles Davis was reinstated from a 15-game suspension last week in a win over St. John’s. With Davis back alongside Trevon Bluiett, Edmond Sumner and J.P. Macura, Xavier will have plenty of firepower and a deep rotation moving forward.
Saturday’s game begins at 2:00 p.m. Eastern on FOX Sports 1, with full streaming details available below.

Butler is right behind Xavier in the Big East standings with a 3-2 mark in conference play and 14-3 record overall. The Bulldogs were overwhelmed by No. 8 Creighton on Wednesday night, but proved they can beat any team in the nation with a 66-58 victory over then undefeated Villanova last week.

Chris Holtmann’s team ranks 25th in the nation in offensive efficiency at 1.115 points per possession. Leading scorer Kelan Martin is averaging 16.8 points per game but will need to recover from a poor outing against Creighton, while senior forward Andrew Chrabascz is having the best season of his career.
While Xavier is only going to get better as Davis gets back up to speed, it will face a huge challenge in one of the toughest places to play in college basketball.
