The Siena Saints and the Georgetown Hoyas meet in college basketball action from the Capital One Arena on Wednesday night.

The Siena Saints will look to build on back-to-back wins after a 74-70 win over Canisius last time out. Javian McCollum leads the Saints in scoring and assists with 18.2 PPG and 4.8 APG while Jackson Stormo has 11 PPG and 6 RPG to lead the Saints in rebounding. Andrew Platek also ahs 10 PPG to cap off the trio of double-digit scorers for Siena so far this season. As a team, Siena is averaging 72.4 PPG on 46.7% shooting from the field, 38.8% from three and 73.5% from the foul line this season.

The Georgetown Hoyas will try to bounce back from a 74-71 OT loss to South Carolina last time out. Primo Spears lead the Hoyas in scoring with 16.6 PPG along with 4.6 APG while Brandon Murray has 15.4 PPG and 4.1 APG this season. Qudus Wahab has 10.3 PPG with 6.9 RPG and Jay Heath has 14.3 PPG to cap off the group of double-digit scorers for Georgetown up to this point in the year. Akok Akok also has a team-high 7.7 RPG to lead the Hoyas on the glass up to this point in the year. As a team, Georgetown is averaging 74.9 PPG on 44.4% shooting from the field, 34.1% from three and 73.8% from the foul line this season.

Siena is 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games against a team with a losing record and 1-3-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a win while the over is 7-2 in their last 9 games overall. Georgetown is 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games following an ATS loss and 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games against a team with a winning record while the under is 4-1 in their last 5 games following a loss.

I get the case to be made for either side here, but I’m personally not in a position where I’m looking to back Georgetown. This Georgetown team has fallen flat in easier spots than this and I think Siena can keep this one close if they don’t win this one outright. Give me Siena and the points here.
