WASHINGTON – The story played out all too familiar for Xavier Thursday night.
The Musketeers were in control most of the night against Georgetown at Capital One Arena until they weren't.
Done in again by a late run from the opposition, and an opportunity for a win imploded in an 80-73 loss - the fourth in a row for the Musketeers.
Xavier led the Hoyas for more than 29 minutes. Georgetown, which didn't lead in the game until just under 10 minutes left in the game, led for only eight minutes all game.
