In their most recent outing, Georgetown secured a narrow 70-73 victory over Butler on January 31. Xavier is coming off a loss to Creighton on January 29. Despite the setback, the Musketeers have shown some flashes of elite play through their tough conference schedule.

Georgetown's offense is spearheaded by Micah Peavy, who has been a consistent scoring threat, with 14.4 points per game, and a force on the boards with 5.4 rebounds per game. His versatility and leadership have been pivotal to the Hoyas' success this season. 

Xavier will rely on their balanced attack and the energy of the home crowd to counter Georgetown's momentum. The Musketeers have depth in their roster, with four players contributing double digit point averages.

Considering Georgetown's recent victory over Butler and their previous win against Xavier, the Hoyas have momentum on their side. However, playing on the road presents its challenges. Either way, a play on Georgetown to cover is a value spot in this tight matchup. We will take Georgetown to win this one 72-68.
