SB Nation published a preview on November 6, 2026, for the upcoming NCAA basketball matchup between Xavier and Eastern Michigan. The preview, authored by Bryan D, comes ahead of the game between the Xavier Musketeers and the Eastern Michigan Eagles.
Eastern Michigan previously faced the Louisville Cardinals on November 24, 2025, at the KFC Yum! Center in Louisville, Kentucky.
