Takeaways From Xavier's Big East Road Win over Georgetown Hoyas
Xavier overcame a historic 41-point loss last game by outrebounding Georgetown 43-33 and forcing key late free-throw misses to secure an 80-77 Big East road victory.
- On Dec. 20, Xavier men's basketball defeated Georgetown 80-77 in the Hoyas' Big East home-opener in Washington, D.C.
- After the Creighton loss, Xavier responded by rallying in a gritty road win, with Richard Pitino, Xavier head coach, saying, `We certainly did not play that well in our home opener,` and challenging the team to improve.
- Stat lines reveal Xavier's edge on the glass as they won the rebound battle 43-33 with Filip Borovicanin grabbing 13 rebounds, while Tre Carroll led all scorers with 22 points and 8 rebounds.
- Late in regulation, Georgetown's free-throw misses left the door open for Xavier as Seal Diouf missed back-to-back shots with 3.4 seconds left and Malik Mack's corner 3 was offline.
- The Musketeers, now 9-4 and 1-1 in conference, pause for 10 days off over the Christmas break before hosting UConn on New Year's Eve.
