Xavier swept the Big East weekly honors.

Bluiett earned Big East Player of the Week honors, posting a career-high 24 points, connecting on 5-of-11 3-pointers, in an 84-64 victory over DePaul on Tuesday. He followed that with 18 points and five boards against Marquette.

Edmond Sumner made his return to the lineup on Saturday after missing the previous three games. The redshirt freshman guard scored 15 points, grabbed three rebounds and recorded five assists in a 74-66 win at Marquette.

It's the third time Sumner has been named Big East Freshman of the Week, tying Marquette's Henry Ellenson for the most selections this season.

Xavier, winners of four in a row, host Georgetown on Tuesday night at 8:30 p.m. EST on FS1.
