Make the pain go away!

Welp. That was not very pleasant. Despite holding Xavier to a two-point lead at halftime, Georgetown sputtered to an 88-70 defeat at the hands of the Musketeers. The song may say that "X Gon' Give it to Ya," but X did not give Georgetown any room to operate offensively, thanks to its suffocating pack-line defense. Of Georgetown's 61 shot attempts, 37 came from behind the arc as the Hoyas looked hopeless on the rare occasions they got the ball into the paint. Despite relatively efficient double-digit scoring performances from D'Vauntes Smith-Rivera, Isaac Copeland, and LJ Peak, the Hoyas still failed to match Xavier's balanced offensive attack, which saw four players-- Edmond Sumner, James Farr, Trevon Bluiett, and JP Macura-- all score 12 or more points.
