Georgetown is coming into this game off of an awful season this year. They finished the season winless against conference opponents with a 0-19 record and are on a 20 game losing right now. They are even winless on the road and in their neutral site games this season going 0-13 between those 2 combined. They are coming off of a very bad loss on the road by double digits but not all of their losses have been like that. They have kept games close and have even had chances to win but usually they play much better at home and keep the games closer there. They are going up against a SHU team that was 1-1 in neutral site games and 6-5 on the road this season so they know how to play away from home and they should have no problem eliminating Georgetown with ease in this game. SHU has won their last 5 straight games coming into this one and that includes a win over Georgetown as well. SHU has been heating up and they are going to be very tough to stop for a team like Georgetown. SHU will win this game by around 10 points.

“Yeah, they’re still in the fight, you know, I believe so. We’re definitely disappointed in the outcome of our season. This is not nowhere where I expected us to be, or the group as a whole expected us to be. But it is what it is.” - Patrick Ewing on his team coming into the Big East tournament.

 

 

“What’s really helped is I have an older group. We haven’t switched anything defensively. What we’ve really focused on, what we had to do, was change on the fly offensively. We put a whole new offense in when we saw Bryce was really struggling with his concussion.” - Kevin Willard on his team this season.
