Preview: How will No. 8 Xavier respond against Georgetown following first Big East loss?

Every team is capable of playing poorly and losing a game they shouldn't, but what separates good teams and great teams from the rest is how they respond to that poor performance.

That's where Xavier's men's basketball team will find itself on Saturday at noon against Georgetown in the Cintas Center.

The Musketeers are coming off their first conference loss of the season on Wednesday at DePaul in what was arguably their worst performance of the season.

Even with that loss, Xavier's still in first place in the Big East Conference race and all of its season-long goals are still well within reach, but the Musketeers have to turn the page on DePaul and prove that performance was an outlier, as opposed to the alternative.
