Watch: XU's Steele on Georgetown win, Big East Tournament vs. ButlerXavier head coach Travis Steele on a 97-75 win over Georgetown and a Big East Tournament rematch with Butler on Wednesday at Madison Square...
Paul Scruggs - Subpar againScruggs logged eight points (3-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, four assists and one steal in 28 minutes during Saturday's 97-75 win over Georgetown.
ImpactScruggs has failed to hit the 10-point threshold in each of his last three games. The senior wraps up the regular season averaging 11.9 points, 4.2 rebounds and 4.0 assists per game with a 42.5/33.0/69.1 shooting slash. Scruggs will look to boost his career stock on a big stage starting Wednesday, when Xavier matches up against Butler to kick off the Big East Tournament.

Nate Johnson - Resumes starting role, drops 25Johnson totaled 25 points (9-17 FG, 7-11 3Pt), one rebound, four assists and one block over 31 minutes during Saturday's 97-75 victory over Georgetown.
ImpactJohnson and the Musketeers have hit a rough patch of late, dropping five in row to potentially erase some of the good will built up by the early-season resume. On the bright side, Johnson was able to return from a four-game absence last Wednesday, and he resumed his starting role on senior night. That led to his highest single-game scoring total since Nov. 26 when he poured in 30 against Virginia Tech in non-conference play. Granted, Saturday's effort occurred against the last-place Hoyas, but it was still a building block for a team in desperate need of momentum entering the Big East tournament.
