Georgetown vs UConn Key Stats
The Hoyas have won five of their 11 non-conference games this season after going 6-25 last year and going 0-19 in the Big East. After losing at Xavier 102-89 on Friday, the Huskies will try to end a 20-game league losing streak.
The defeat came soon after the cancer-related death of assistant coach Louis Orr. In their defeat, the Hoyas shot 51.6% from the field, but Xavier made 60.3% from the field and 53.8% (14–26) from three.
The Hoyas rank 260th in adjusted defensive efficiency, 108th in adjusted offensive efficiency, and 171st overall in the efficiency rankings. Despite allowing 76.5 ppg on average, they are 333rd in the country.
The Huskies and Kent State are the only two remaining teams in the country that have a perfect record against the spread. Their victory over Butler as a 7.5-point favorite on Saturday increased their record against the spread to 11-0-1. Based on efficiency ratings, the Huskies are also the best team in the country. They rank third on defense and ninth in adjusted offensive efficiency.
At 83.6 ppg, the Huskies are ranked 20th in the nation. They are 61st in three-point accuracy (37.3%), 61st in field goal percentage (48.6%), and 72nd in free-throw percentage (74%). The Huskies' defense ranks 10th in the country, allowing just 57.4 points per game.
Georgetown vs UConn Betting Prediction
This season, the Huskies have already covered spreads of 39.5 points and 33 points. Additionally, they showed no compassion in defeating Butler by 22 points in the conference opener while defeating a strong Alabama squad by 15 points.
The Hoyas' defense has struggled, as evidenced by their double-digit losses to Northwestern, Loyal Marymount, Texas Tech, Syracuse, and Xavier, despite having so many transfers leading the way.
Pick: UConn Huskies -21 (-110)
