WHAT’S AT STAKE
Georgetown: With a victory the Hoyas can get to double digit wins for the first time since 2021.
Providence: This is an absolute must-not-lose situation for the Friars, who are squarely on the bubble with two games left before the Big East Tournament.
ONE SIDED STUFF
Providence has won five straight in the series and 16 of 20 vs the Hoyas since 2014. Georgetown’s last win at Capital One Arena vs the Friars was a 96-90 OT thriller on Jan. 12, 2019. Mac McClung sent the game into OT with a banked in straight on 3-pointer from the edge of the Hoyas ‘G’ logo as time expired. McClung caught the inbounds pass right in front of then-Providence, now-Georgetown coach Ed Cooley with 3.9 seconds left before taking three dribbles and sinking the shot to force extra time.
