Be nice to get a little revenge after getting swept down there last year.
Georgetown and Xavier baseball share some similarities, although at this point Xavier is the better team. Xavier and Georgetown both have home fields that are band boxes, and both teams are built to take advantage of their home fields with offense and power. In my mind it is an advantage to play a team like this away from their home ballpark. Last season UConn baseball played Georgetown on the road, and that was not to UConn's advantage.
After being swept on the road by Georgetown in the final Big East series of last season, UConn baseball ended up playing Georgetown in UConn's first game in the Big East Baseball Tournament last season. The Huskies won that game 4-0, so that was a nice piece of revenge right there.
For many years Georgetown baseball was frequently in the bottom half of the Big East year by year standings, a distinction they often shared with Villanova. The last couple of years has seen Georgetown on the upswing from where they were in the Big East baseball standings, which was often pretty poor. It is still good to see a perennial poor Big East baseball team such as Georgetown starting to show some improvement, and getting their RPI out of the 200's where they often dwelled.
