STAFF REPORT

The Xavier men's basketball team fell to No. 22 in both the Associated Press Top 25 and the ESPN/USA Today Coaches Poll after Tuesday's loss to Butler.

The 10-1 Bulldogs, meanwhile, moved into the AP Top 25 (at No. 25) thanks, in part, to their win at Xavier.

It was the Musketeers' second consecutive loss. The team dropped to No. 14 in the AP Poll and No. 12 in the ESPN/USA Today Coaches Poll after losing to Duke in East Rutherford, N.J., Dec. 20.

The 9-2 Muskies face Robert Morris on Wednesday evening.
