The #11 seed Georgetown Hoyas took care of business against #6 seed DePaul, winning 63-56 while shooting 39.3% from the floor. Georgetown doesn’t have the most powerful offense in the Big East this season, but neither did DePaul. The Hoyas rank 9th in the conference, averaging 74.2 points per game, while giving up 73.4. What stood out most in Georgetown’s win over DePaul was their dominance on the glass and inside the paint. The Hoyas outscored the Blue Demons 36-20 in the paint, and Vince Iwuchukwu stepped up with a huge performance, finishing with 17 points and 14 rebounds. The 7’ 1” center will need another big night, but he’ll have his work cut out for him against Duke Brennan, who is averaging 12.3 points and 10.5 rebounds per game. 

These teams met twice during the regular season, with Villanova winning both matchups — one by 14 points and the other by 7. The Wildcats have been one of the more efficient offensive teams in the Big East this season, and with an extra day of rest, they’ll be fully prepared for this matchup. While Georgetown played strong defense in their last matchup, they were facing a Blue Demons team that ranked 10th in the Big East in scoring. Villanova presents a much tougher challenge offensively, averaging 77.6 points per game this season. The Wildcats move the ball extremely well and rank 4th in the conference in three-point shooting (35.7%). Villanova also has a strong presence inside with Duke Brennan, which is going to create a lot of problems for Georgetown’s defense. Look for Villanova to roll in this matchup as they’re the better team on both ends of the floor, moving on to the next round in the Big East tournament.
