NCAA Tournament Hopefuls: The key contenders in each major conference
A conference-by-conference breakdown of which teams are locks for the NCAA Tournament, which should get in and which still have work to do.FEBRUARY 15, 2023
Souley Boum - Good to go Wednesday Boum (ankle) will start Wednesday's game against Marquette, Adam Baum of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Impact Boum was expected to go despite missing practice earlier this week with an ankle sprain. Xavier doesn't have a lot of backcourt depth, so hopefully Boum doesn't aggravate that injury.

Kam Craft - Set to miss 3-4 weeks Craft (knee) is expected to miss 3-4 weeks, per Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.
Impact The freshman has played sparingly this season, appearing in 14 games and averaging 7.1 minutes in those contests. While only averaging 2.8 points, Craft has shot the ball well overall, posting a 50.0 percent mark from the field. The young guard's injury timeline means he could return right as Xavier gears up for a potential NCAA tournament bid.

Desmond Claude - Out with illness Claude (illness) will not be available for Wednesday's game against Marquette, Adam Baum of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Impact Xavier will be shorthanded in a big game against Marquette. Souley Boum is expected to go Wednesday, but it banged up. Claude being out should give some extra minutes to KyKy Tandy off the bench. Claude will hope to be back from this illness in time for Saturday's game against DePaul.

Souley Boum - Expected to play despite sprain Boum (ankle) is expected to play against Marquette on Wednesday despite battling an ankle sprain, per Adam Baum of The Cincinnati Enquirer.
Impact Xavier is holding Boum out of practice with his ankle sprain, but reportedly expects him to play Wednesday against Marquette. The starting point guard hasn't missed any time with this injury, although it's clear Xavier is erring on the side of caution by holding him out of practice. Boum has started every game for the Musketeers this season and has been an electrifying playmaker, averaging 16.1 points, 3.9 rebounds and 4.9 assists.

Villanova hosts Taylor and Butler
Butler plays the Villanova Wildcats after Jayden Taylor scored 20 points in the Bulldogs' 69-67 victory over the Xavier MusketeersFEBRUARY 13, 2023 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Adam Kunkel - Delivers despite loss Kunkel registered 13 points (5-9 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, three assists and one steal across 36 minutes during Friday's 69-67 loss to Butler.
Impact Kunkel matched his season high of 36 minutes, and every Xavier starter played at least 32 minutes in the defeat. Averaging 10.1 points per game, Kunkel isn't an explosive scorer, but Friday's game script symbolizes that he could be leaned on down the stretch.
FEBRUARY 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Colby Jones - Scores team-high 17 Jones amassed 17 points (7-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-5 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and three steals over 36 minutes during Friday's 69-67 loss to Butler.
Impact Jones put forth a strong two-way effort. He's now scored at least 17 points in five of his last six games. However, he was also called for goaltending to concede the game-winning bucket to Butler, resulting in Xavier's third in-conference loss this season.
FEBRUARY 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Souley Boum - Poor showing in loss Boum totaled 12 points (4-14 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and three assists across 32 minutes during Friday's 69-67 loss to Butler. He also had four turnovers.
Impact Boum turned in one of his quieter outings, failing to exploit an undersized Butler squad. Boum also logged four of Xavier's 18 turnovers -- another factor in the defeat. He's shooting just 33.3 percent from the field over his last four games.
