Georgetown Hoyas

Georgetown has been on a five-game winning streak since their loss to Notre Dame, but they are about to face tougher competition in their upcoming games against West Virginia, Syracuse, Creighton, and Seton Hall. Despite having four double-digit scorers, the team lacks depth beyond that. Freshman forward Thomas Sorber leads the team in scoring and contributes in multiple areas. Other key players to watch are Micah Peavy, Jayden Epps, and Malik Mack. Georgetown ranks 85th overall with strengths in defense and areas for improvement in offense. They have solid shooting percentages and rebounding numbers, but struggle with three-point shooting. The team is currently 7-1 this season and will face West Virginia without any reported injuries.
