Washington, DC (SportsNetwork.com) - Myles Davis continued his strong play with 19 points and Xavier went into Verizon Center and stunned No. 21 Georgetown 66-53 on Tuesday.

Davis shot 6-of-9 from the floor, finishing in double figures for the fifth straight game, and Matt Stainbrook scored 12 for Xavier (14-7, 5-4 Big East), which had lost its last five road games, including four straight to open conference play.

Georgetown (14-6, 6-3) was coming off four straight wins and six of seven since losing to Xavier in the conference opener for both teams on Dec. 31.

D'Vauntes Smith-Rivera paced the Hoyas with 13 points in the unlikely setback.

Xavier broke the game open by scoring on six straight possessions over a 3:18 stretch just past the midpoint of the first half. Already leading 11-8, Trevon Bluiett's layup opened the flurry during which five different players scored. Myles Davis capped the 12-0 run with a 3-pointer from Dee Davis, who also scored a layup during the spurt.

Georgetown countered with four straight points on free throws, but Myles Davis connected on a pair of triples later in the half and Xavier led 29-16 at halftime.

The margin was double figures until Joshua Smith's three-point play with 4 1/2 minutes to play. Smith-Rivera followed with a layup that had Georgetown within 54-47.

The Hoyas could have cut it down even more on their next possession, but Tre Campbell missed a 3 and Smith, who grabbed the offensive rebound and got fouled, bricked the front end of a 1-and-1.

Stainbrook's layup on a nifty inbounds feed from Dee Davis with 1:28 left made it an 11-point game, and Xavier held on.
