Despite each's availability being in question, senior center Omer Yurtseven and sophomore guard Mac McClung remain Georgetown's top scorers, contributing 15.8 ppg (eighth in league) and 15.7/10th, respectively, the former missing most of four games, the latter seven.
Highlighting the pickle head coach Pat Ewing and his team find themselves: Though he's scored at least 16 points in six of the last seven games including a career high of 30, junior guard Jahvon Blair is averaging 10.4 ppg for the season. That mark lands him 28th in the BIG EAST.
Yurtseven''s 10 rpg are third in the conference, tops in Blue and Gray. Jamorko PIckett, a junior forward, again trails him with 6.5 rpg, eighth tops among league players.
Leading Xavier in scoring is junior guard Naji Marshall (16.3 ppg/4th), while junior forward Tyrique Jones lands at 16th, via 13.7 ppg.
Jones' 11.1 rpg is the conference's top rebounder. Marshall is also conference-ranked, landing 10th with 6.1 rpg.
