Xavier vs. Georgetown Prediction, Odds, Lines, Picks, and Preview- January 21 | 2023 NCAA Basketball Regular Season

Xavier v Villanova
Will Xavier dismantle a woeful Georgetown Hoyas team on Saturday?

The Xavier Musketeers have surprised many around college basketball with an excellent season atop the Big East standings. The Musketeers were on a roll with an 11 game winning streak but were shocked by DePaul in their last outing, making it the first time Xavier had lost in conference play this season. With Marquette and Providence on their heels, look for the Musketeers to rebound accordingly against the Hoyas. Speaking of Georgetown, they are bottom feeders in the Big East. The once dominant program has fallen on hard times as the Hoyas have not won their first game in the Big East. The odds are against them on Saturday, but we have seen upsets before. Who will be victorious on Saturday, the contending Musketeers or the floundering Hoyas?
