There's not much left to say, other than Xavier's men's basketball team has its final regular-season game on Saturday (7 p.m., Fox Sports 1) at Cintas Center against a Georgetown team that has yet to win a Big East Conference game all season, and it's a game the Musketeers have to win.
A loss would be Xavier's sixth in a row and it would almost certainly leave the Musketeers outside the NCAA Tournament field heading into next week's Big East Conference Tournament at Madison Square Garden.
A win would offer a small sprinkle of hope for a team that's postseason life is hanging together by a weathered thread.
During its five-game losing streak, four of the five losses have been by double digits.
Xavier's having defensive issues, offensive issues, confidence issues, and anything resembling fun or happiness have been missing in action.
It will be Senior Night for the Musketeers on Saturday and maybe that will provide some motivation, but the motivation to not close the season with a six-game losing streak should be plenty powerful all by itself.
