Xavier turns back Georgetown

Edmond Sumner overcame a painful left shoulder and led a second-half surge that swept No. 19 Xavier to an 86-75 victory over visiting Georgetown on Sunday, ending the Musketeers’ longest losing streak in three years.

Xavier (14-5, 4-3) had dropped three straight — all against ranked Big East teams. The Musketeers allowed a 12-point lead to slip away in the second half on Sunday before their injured point guard frustrated the Hoyas (10-10, 1-6) again. Sumner had a career-high 28 points in an 81-76 win at Georgetown on Dec. 31.

Sumner wore a support on his injured left shoulder and sat on the bench grimacing late in the first half.

He had a jumper, a three-point play and a pair of free throws during a 12-3 run that put Xavier in control, 70-61.

He finished with 14 points.

Trevon Bluiett led Xavier with 24 points. J.P. Macura added 20. Seton Hall 86, St. John's 73: Angel Delgado scored 21 points and grabbed a career-high 20 rebounds for his 14th double-double of the season as the host Pirates rolled past the Red Storm (9-12, 3-5).
