Georgetown Hoyas Betting Preview

The Georgetown Hoyas went 9-23 last season and they finished 2-18 in the Big East, which was 10th in the standings. Georgetown scored 70.8 points per game last year and they allowed 77.9 points per game. The Hoyas opened last season with a 94-57 win over Le Moyne, but they did lose to Holy Cross in their second game. Georgetown was awful in conference play last season and they lost 16 of their last 17 games, including their lone game in the Big East tournament. 

Georgetown lost a ton of production from last season, but they do return Jayden Epps, who averaged 18.5 points per game last year. The Hoyas did bring in four transfers in the offseason, with two of them averaging at least 10 points per game. The Georgetown Hoyas play Fairfield and Notre Dame next.

Georgetown vs Lehigh Prediction 

Georgetown comes into this matchup as a pretty big favorite at home, but they are replacing quite a bit of production from last season. The Hoyas do have their leading scorer back, but there are question marks surrounding the rest of the team. Lehigh ran out of the gym in the first half against Northwestern in their first game, but they did settle in and played better in the second half. I do think Lehigh has the advantage in this game because they have already played and I like them to keep this game somewhat close.
