Two teams with hopes of making a push for postseason play meet Tuesday night when Xavier hosts Georgetown in Cincinnati.The Musketeers (13-9, 5-6 Big East) are coming off an 86-77 loss to Creighton on Wednesday and have had five days of rest to prepare for their first of nine remaining regular-season games.Xavier has little room for error to try to make a push for an NCAA Tournament berth, barring a championship run at the Big East tournament in New York in mid-March.”We could really take off over the next four or five weeks,” Musketeers coach Sean Miller said. “Whether we’re able to do it or not, that remains to be seen. We have the ability to play at a very high level. We’ve shown that. We’ve got to turn it into high gear now.”Xavier continues to be powered by Zach Freemantle and Ryan Conwell. Freemantle leads the team in scoring (16.5 points per game) and rebounding (7.4 rpg) while Conwell is scoring at a clip of 16.3 points per contest.Georgetown (14-8, 5-6) rebounded from a 25-point home loss to St. John’s on Jan. 28 with a 73-70 win over Butler on Friday in Washington.
