The Big East’s #11 team Georgetown was impressive last night against Villanova, holding the Wildcats to 37.7% shooting from the floor and out-rebounded them 46-25. This Hoyas team is playing some great basketball over their last 3 games, and they’ll look to keep things rolling as they get ready to take on #2 seed UConn. The two teams met twice during the regular season. In their most recent matchup, UConn walked away with a 79-75 victory, and in the game prior, UConn won 64-62. This Georgetown team loves to play physical and force you to beat them inside, as they have 7-foot-1 Vince Iwuchukwu to defend the rim.

On the season, the Huskies look better on paper, averaging 78.6 points per game compared to the Hoyas’ 74.3. Defensively, UConn is holding opponents to 65.3 points per game compared to Georgetown’s 73.1. Both teams are evenly matched on the glass, so rebounding shouldn’t heavily favor either side. What stands out in this matchup, however, is UConn’s recent inability to consistently pull away from opponents. The Huskies narrowly defeated Georgetown in both regular-season games, and they just lost to Marquette, Creighton, and barely got by Seton Hall. Sure, UConn just dominated the #10 seed Xavier 93-68, but Georgetown is a better rebounding team and has a better defense than Xavier. While the Huskies should win this game, I expect the Hoyas to give it their all and keep this game close.
