The game between Xavier and George Washingon on Saturday night will be a battle for both second place in the Atlantic 10, and a possible post-season berth. The quality of this conference has diminished in the last several years meaning likely no more than two teams will earn NCAA bids. Therefore, to the winner of this came could eventually go the spoils of a “Dance Invitation”.

Both Xavier and George Washington have passable records; however finishing any worse then third, means winning post-season tourney is only way to be selected. Xavier depends on Stanley Burrell and Justin Doellman for scoring as effective inside-outside tandem. The Colonials come in off a two losses as the offense has been held in check. Both teams like to move the ball up and down the floor quickly, giving a good entertainment value. G.W. is glad to be back home with 10-0 record and 4-2-1 ATS mark. Like most teams in this conference Xavier is meek on the road as 2-5 SU and ATS record proves unmistakably.
