Georgetown is coming into this game with a 6-20 record overall and they are 6-9 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. This will be the 16th conference matchup on their schedule this year and they are currently 0-15 in their conference games this season.

Georgetown has an ATS record of 10-14-2 this season and their O/U record is 14-12.

 

DePaul has not been playing well in their recent games as they have lost their last 4 straight games. DePaul has not been awful in their games as they have been keeping them close but they have not been able to get the wins and their last win actually came against Georgetown a few weeks ago at home. They are 3-7 on the road though and they are 3-13 against conference opponents. They are going up against a Georgetown team that is 0-15 against conference opponents though and they are only 6-9 at home this season. They have lost 16 straight games and they do not have a single conference win this season but that just makes them even hungrier for a win here. They have been close in a few of their games but being at home against DePaul, one of the worst teams in the Big East this season, this might be their best chance to win a conference game. With their remaining schedule, this is the weakest team and the best situation for them here so Georgetown should play hard and hungry for their win here. Georgetown will edge out DePaul here at home but only by a few points.

“The biggest thing with Voss is that he continues to come to practice, keep his head up, and work hard.” - Tony Stubblefield on Courvoisier McCauley.

 

 

"I don't like the handshake line. I don't like it because anything is possible. You're just getting through a heated battle, a heated game and anything can happen to make things worse, which is what happened in that situation. If it's my call, I think we should just take away the handshake line. Just do like we did last year in COVID. You wave bye and you move on." - Patrick Ewing
