Trends

Georgetown is 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games overall and 7-16 ATS in their last 23 home games while the over is 5-2 in their last 7 games following an ATS win.
Pick
I’m sticking with the over in this one. I get the reasoning for backing either side, as UConn’s the better team and Georgetown has actually done a good job at covering some bigger numbers as of late. That being said, Georgetown’s defense still leaves a lot to be desired as a whole, and UConn’s fully capable of scoring points in bunches, but we saw in the first meeting this season that Georgetown can at least keep themselves in the game and I think this is a game to get into the 150s. Give me the over here.
