Xavier and Villanova, the BIG EAST's two top 10 teams, will be in action as part of a FOX doubleheader Saturday afternoon. The No. T8/7 Musketeers want to avenge a defeat against Georgetown, while the No. 1/1 Wildcats want to maintain their momentum toward a third-straight regular-season title against Butler. A third BIG EAST contest also has a payback theme when Marquette visits DePaul on FOX Sports Networks at 2 p.m. ET.
Xavier carries a 23-3 overall record and an 11-3 BIG EAST mark into Georgetown for a noon tipoff, but one of those losses came against the Hoyas, who won 81-72 at the Cintas Center on Jan.
