UConn vs Georgetown Game Preview

Why UConn Will Win

It hasn’t been the smoothest of runs lately going 2-4 in the last six games and 3-6 in the last nine, but that all came after beating Georgetown by 11.

The Huskies should be able to keep the score lower this time around with the defense that’s great at guarding from three against the struggling Hoya offense.

It’s a Patrick Ewing team, so Georgetown can rebound, but there’s little to nothing happening from the outside and there aren’t enough points coming off the break to make up for the struggling shooting.

All UConn has to do is get up fast and it has a shot, but …

Why Georgetown Will Win

This is one of the few teams that can hang with the Huskies on the boards.

The first time around might have been a tough loss, but it was +11 in rebounding margin. No, the Hoyas can’t shoot all that well, but at least they come up with second chance points.

So what’s UConn’s problem lately? There are too many turnovers, fouls have become a big issue, and …

What’s Going To Happen

UConn should be okay as long as it gets a little bit of a lead.

It’s about hitting from three. UConn is 5-4 when teams hit 30% or better from the outside, but Georgetown has to hit enough of them to matter. It’s one of the worst outside shooting teams in the country, and that’s going to be a problem late.

UConn vs Georgetown Game Preview


Why UConn Will Win

Georgetown can’t guard the three.

The team has a bad mix of things happening with struggles from the field to go along with the defensive lapses. The team shoots a whole lot of threes, but not enough to make up for the other issues.

UConn hit ten of its 24 three point tries in the first meeting – a 96-73 win – and Georgetown hasn’t improved since then.

How bad are things for the Hoyas? They’ve lost 17 straight, the offense is struggling to get to 70 points, and …

Why Georgetown Will Win

Georgetown can rebound.

It might be having a whole slew of problems in a whole lot of areas, but again, it’s able to hit three from time to time – it came up with 12 against DePaul and 11 against Marquette – and even though the shooting hasn’t been great, the offensive rebounds are there.

To have any shot, the Hoyas have to start shooting from three and keep it all going. UConn isn’t great at stopping threes, it has problems from time to time on the boards, and …

What’s Going To Happen

Yeah, Georgetown can rebound, but it didn’t do it against UConn the first time around and it’s not going to be great in this.

No, Georgetown can’t shoot, but it was great in that first game and it still got rocked. It won’t score enough to keep up once UConn gets into a second half groove.
