UConn vs Georgetown Prediction
Georgetown has had issues sustaining success this season so it wouldn’t be shocking to see the Hoyas turn into a pumpkin playing their third game in three days. UConn is also scary good at MSG and in March overall. I get this line. However, UConn hasn’t done well with big numbers this season and that includes a 2-9 ATS record as a double-digit favorite under the 2026 calendar.
Georgetown also hung with UConn twice this season, losing both games by a combined 6 points. The underdog has covered 7 of the last 9 meetings between Georgetown and UConn. Give me the points.
