This will be their 17th conference matchup of the year and they are currently 11-5 in their conference games this season. They have won 5 of their last 6 games and are coming into this one on a 4 game winning streak.

Adama Sanogo led the team in points in that game with 20 while Isaiah Whaley was next on the team with 13 points.

Georgetown is coming into this game with a 6-21 record overall and they are 6-10 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. This will be the 17th conference matchup on their schedule this year and they are currently 0-16 in their conference games this season.

UConn is coming into this game playing very well in their recent games. They have won 4 straight games and are coming into this one off of a win against a very good Villanova team that is ranked number 8 in the nation. They have not been winning their games by many points but they are going up against a Georgetown team here that is the worst team in the Big East this season. Georgetown does not have a win against conference opponents this season with a 0-16 record and they even have a losing record at home with a 6-10 record there. Georgetown has lost 17 straight games and they have been losing a lot of those games by double digits. This is their last game at home this season so they will be playing very hard in this game to try and get that first conference win of the season but UConn has a very good team and they have been playing very well recently. UConn will not be stopped by a team like Georgetown and with March Madness right around the corner, they will be flipping it into high gear in these last few games. UConn will win this game by double digits and continue on their winning streak.
