James Bouknight also had 16 points and six rebounds despite a poor shooting night from the field (4-of-13) and he continues to be the straw that stirs the drink for UConn.

What you need to know about Georgetown
Meanwhile, Georgetown didn't have too much room to spare against the Xavier Musketeers on Tuesday, but still walked away with a 72-66 victory. Georgetown got double-digit scores from four players: guard Jamorko Pickett (18), forward Chudier Bile (16), center Qudus Wahab (13), and guard Jahvon Blair (12).
The Hoyas won the rebounding battle 42-39 and it was the eighth time in nine games that they've been able to outrebound their opponents. However, their 70-57 loss to UConn on Feb. 23 was the lone exception during that span, with the Huskies snatching 45 rebounds while the Hoyas only managed 25. They'll have to do a much better job cleaning up the glass on Saturday.
