Georgetown men’s basketball will look to avenge its overtime loss to Xavier earlier this month when it hosts the No. 4 team in the country Wednesday at Capital One Arena.
A Hoya victory could deal a blow to Xavier’s bid for a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament. The Musketeers are poised to join No. 3 Villanova in earning two of the national tourney’s top seeds, a sign that Big East basketball is returning to national prominence.
Xavier (24-4, 12-3) doesn’t get as much attention as traditional basketball powers like Villanova, Kansas, Duke and Michigan State.
