Dante Maddox Jr. will look to continue his hot hand on Saturday as Xavier hosts DePaul in a Big East Conference contest in Cincinnati.The shooting guard matched career highs in points (26) and 3-point field goals (six) to lead the Musketeers (15-10, 7-7) past Providence in a pivotal 91-82 road win on Wednesday.It was the second-straight 20-point game for Maddox following a 24-point performance in a road loss to Villanova on Sunday.Xavier has alternated wins and losses for the last seven games while trying to stay in the race for one of the five bye spots in the Big East tournament.After starting the season under new coach Chris Holtmann by winning eight of 10 games, DePaul (11-14, 2-12) has once again struggled in conference play.Xavier defeated DePaul 77-63 on Jan. 11 in Chicago behind 20 points and 10 rebounds from Zach Freemantle.
