The BIG EAST Conference has been trying to reschedule games in chronological order for each team, so there is still plenty of optimism that the home game against Xavier will be rescheduled, as well.
The question will be, when will they be rescheduled and how might the inevitable short rest affect Georgetown and their BIG EAST foes down the stretch.
Georgetown up to 10 games in February with this makeup thrown into the mix.

Hoyas will play Saturday/Monday/Thursday/Sunday from the 19th to the 27th. https://t.co/GfMMCEwqfI
We’ve already discussed that a potential disadvantage of the rescheduling is that Georgetown will now face Creighton in back-to-back home and away games on Saturday, February 12th (D.C.) and Monday, 14th (Omaha).
Now, the biggest gap of days (5) between games comes February 1-6 between home games against Seton Hall and Providence. There is a 4 day stretch between visiting UConn on January 25 and visitng Butler on January 29, but squeezing a game there seems unlikely.
Press release from GU Hoyas:
BIG EAST Announces Rescheduled Georgetown vs. St. John’s MBB Game
WASHINGTON – The BIG EAST Conference has announced the rescheduling of the Georgetown vs. St. John’s men’s basketball game. The game could not be played on the original date due to COVID-19 issues.
Georgetown vs. St. John’s – Monday, February 21, 7 p.m. ET, TV: FS1
McDonough Arena
(originally scheduled on January 1)
Ticket details will be announced in February.
Georgetown is having a media availability tomorrow.

That would seem like a good sign ahead of Friday's scheduled game with Marquette.
Hoyas (6-5) last played on Dec 18, having four games postponed.
