WHAT’S AT STAKE
UCONN – The Huskies look for a fifth straight conference win after starting out with an upet loss at Seton Hall. Anything less than a blowout win could drop UConn a few spots in places like KenPom given Georgetown’s poor metrics.
Georgetown – No pressure for the Hoyas as 20+ point underdogs. A win today would rank as the biggest upset victory in school history.
