Xavier comes back against Georgetown 80-67, DePaul preview and prediction

      Xavier's Semaj Christon, Brandon Randolph and Isiah Philmore trap a Georgetown player.

Xavier started the game, swapping buckets but began to struggle near the end of the 1st half. Christon performed great again (18/4/1), but it was a great team effort, as Davis contributed (17/1/7), Along with Philmore (14/5/0), Farr (9/6/0), and Martin (10/7/2). 

Starting the 2nd half, Xavier continued the poor performance. After trailing by 17 points, Xavier began a come back with around 10 minutes left in the game. GTown gave up many turn overs in a quick span, letting Xavier go on a 44-14 run by the end of the game. 

As the game ended and Xavier pulled off the huge comeback, Xavier ended the game 8-8 from the line and on a 16-0 run. 

On Monday, January 20th, at 4:00 p.m. in Illinois. the Xavier Musketeers will face DePaul Blue Demons. Xavier is (4-1) 14-4, while DePaul is (2-3) 10-8. DePaul suffered tough losses to Creighton and a suffering Marquette. But, had clutch wins against Butler in 2OT and St. John's by 2 to stay afloat in the conference. Xavier has done well in the conference, Beating Butler by 9, Marquette by 7 and Georgetown by 13. The Musketeers lost their perfect record by losing a well played game to Creighton.

Xavier's Semaj Christon is on a hot streak at the moment, and I believe it will continue and inevitably improve. I predict Semaj Christon drops a clutch 28 points, and I predict Xavier defeats DePaul on the road 88-67.
