Mike Miles leads the Horned Frogs in scoring and assists with 16.6 PPG and 4.6 APG while Emanuel Miller has 10.9 PPG and a team-high 6.7 RPG to lead the Horned Frogs on the glass while also making up the other half of the two double-digit scorers for TCU so far this season. Chuck O’Bannon Jr. and Damion Baugh each have 8+ PPG as well this season. As a team, TCU is averaging 71.7 PPG on 42.7% shooting from the field, 27.9% from three and 68.5% from the foul line while allowing 61.2 PPG on 39.6% shooting from the field and 32.2% from three this season.

Donald Carey has 12.9 PPG with 5.3 RPG and 3.3 APG while Dante Harris has 12.8 PPG with a team-high 5.3 APG to lead the Hoyas in assists and to round out the group of double-digit scorers for Georgetown so far this season.

TCU is 2-0-2 ATS in their last 4 games overall and 2-0-2 ATS in their last 4 games following a win while the over is 4-1 in their last 5 road games. Georgetown is 5-2 ATS in their last 7 home games and 9-3 ATS in their last 12 Saturday games while the over is 5-1 in their last 6 home games.
I get the case that could be made for Georgetown as a home dog, but I think it speaks volumes that the Hoyas are underdogs in this spot. Anyone who knows me knows that I’m low as low can be on this Georgetown team as I think it’s all name brand and nothing more for the Hoyas. TCU is a solid team from top to bottom and in this game they’re the better team. Give me the Horned Frogs in this one.
