Xavier Musketeers Basketball Game Postponed, Rescheduled for Wednesday

The Xavier Musketeers men’s basketball game against the Providence Friars, originally scheduled for Tuesday night, has been postponed due to severe winter weather conditions impacting the East Coast. The game has been rescheduled for Wednesday night at 7:30 p.m. ET.

Winter Storm Disrupts Big East Schedule

The postponement is a result of a major winter storm that has brought significant snowfall to areas including Providence, Rhode Island, where the game was to be played. Big East conference officials made the decision to ensure the safety of players and fans.

Musketeers Seek Victory Amidst Recent Struggles

Xavier enters Wednesday’s contest looking to rebound from a recent slump, having lost four of their last five games and seven of their last nine. As of February 24, 2026, the Musketeers hold a record of 13-14 overall and 5-11 in Big East play.

Previous Matchup Favored Xavier

Xavier defeated Providence earlier in the season on January 10th at the Cintas Center. Malik Messina-Moore led the Musketeers with 23 points, while Tre Carroll contributed 18 points in the victory.

Remaining Schedule and Tournament Outlook

Including the rescheduled game at Providence, Xavier has four regular season games remaining before the Big East conference tournament, which begins on Wednesday, March 11th.

Tre Carroll: From Port Charlotte to the Big East

Tre Carroll, a key player for the Xavier Musketeers, has emerged as a leading scorer in the Big East. His journey to Norwood has been marked by dedication and opportunity. Carroll, a graduate student from Port Charlotte, Florida, previously played for Florida Atlantic University, where he was a part of the team’s historic 2023 Final Four run.

Carroll’s success is deeply intertwined with the support of his longtime partner, Sharon, whom he met in kindergarten. Their relationship, spanning from the sandbox to the basketball court, is a source of strength and motivation for the Xavier forward.

Before arriving at Xavier, Carroll played three seasons at Florida Atlantic University, earning Second Team All-Conference honors and being named AAC Co-Most Improved Player of the Year in 2024-25. He averaged 12.2 points per game and 5.2 rebounds per game for the Owls.

Family Legacy

Carroll’s father, Anthony Hargrove, was a defensive end at Georgia Tech and played in the NFL, even winning a Super Bowl.
