Your Georgetown Hoyas (9-20, 2-16) allowed a late comeback from the Xavier Musketeers (15-14, 9-9 BE) and lost 98-93 on Senior Night. A defensive battle this was not, but the Hoyas led by 15 at one point and were front-running for almost the entire game. Still, it was a tale of two halves with fouls and free throws keeping Xavier close enough to capitalize on Georgetown’s familiar second-half defense woes (73.1% FG).
Final: Xavier 98, Georgetown 93
Musketeers (15-14, 9-9 BE) scored 61 second half points on 73.1 % shooting (19 of 26) to erase a 12 point halftime deficit and beat the Hoyas for the fifth straight game.
