Georgetown Betting Outlook

Not surprisingly, Georgetown has also struggled against the number. The Hoyas are 10-15-2 ATS overall and 6-9-1 at home.

Freshman guard Aminu Mohammed shined against DePaul with 18 points, nine rebounds and four steals, reaching double figures in scoring for the sixth time in seven games.

Senior guard Donald Carey is tied with Mohammed for the team lead in scoring with a 14.0 average and is grabbing 4.6 rebounds and dishing 3.1 assists a game.

Carey scored in double digits for the 16th straight time Thursday. He had 15 points, despite 4-of-14 shooting, and three assists.

Freshman forward Jalin Billingsley was a bright spot with a season-high 10 points and three blocked shots. He equaled his point total for the previous eight games combined.

Georgetown shot just 23-of-60 (38.3%) from the field and had 17 turnovers. DePaul scored the game’s final four points, all by Javon Freeman-Liberty, to wipe out the Hoyas’ 65-64 lead.

Sophomore guard Dante Harris (11.6) and senior wing Kaiden Rice (11.5) also are averaging double figures in points for Georgetown. Harris’ 4.4 assists per game is fourth in the conference.

UConn vs Georgetown Prediction

UConn routed Georgetown 96-73 on Jan. 25 at home for its third straight victory over the Hoyas.

Sanogo led the Huskies with 19 points and eight rebounds while Whaley added 15 points and seven rebounds and freshman forward Jordan Hawkins also had 15 points. Georgetown was paced by Mohammed’s 15 points, seven rebounds and three assists.

It would be easy for UConn to have a letdown after beating Villanova. However, that probably wouldn’t be enough for Georgetown to get under the numbers.
