Georgetown Hoyas

Georgetown has had a fluctuating season but is looking to build momentum with recent wins against Seton Hall and Butler. They face Providence next before heading into road games against Creighton and UConn. With a road record of 3-5, they will need to overcome their struggles away from home. Despite being relatively healthy, the team lacks consistency in their rotation. Their offense is average in the Big East but could struggle due to poor three-point shooting. Micah Peavy leads the team in scoring but depth could be an issue. Georgetown has a power ranking of 258, ranking 269 in offense and 38 in defense. They are shooting below average in field goals and three-pointers, while also struggling with turnovers. Defensively, they are allowing opponents to shoot a high percentage from the free-throw line and three-point range. Georgetown will need to improve in several areas to secure wins on the road.
