E Michigan made just 15 of 39 shots inside the arc in its opener at Coastal Carolina. Now it visits Xavier, which held Mount St. Mary's to 19 of 65 shooting on Monday.
The Musketeers blocked 6 shots in that opener, including 2 from reserve Rolyns Aligbe in 18 minutes.
The Eagles committed just 7 turnovers at Coastal Carolina. If that ball security carries over, Xavier would have fewer chances before E Michigan's defense gets set, favoring Under 156.5.
