Xavier's first varsity game was on February 20, 1920. It's first opponent was Dayton.
Dayton won that one 24-18 and leads the series 82-70 but Xavier has beaten Dayton in Cincinnati 25 straight times. The Musketeers have won 29 straight against Dayton on any court outside of UD Arena.
Also, a win at the Cintas Center tonight will tie an Atlantic 10 record for consecutive home wins in conference.
Xavier has won 33 straight A-10 games.
Dayton (14-4, 2-1 A10) enters the game with seven wins in its last eight games. Xavier lost to Cincinnati on January 6 but the Musketeers (10-5, 2-0) has won two games in a row.
