The No. 6 ranked UConn Huskies will host the Georgetown Hoyas in a rematch of their January 17th game, which UConn won 64-62. UConn (23-2, 13-1 Big East) enters the game a half-game ahead of St. John's in the Big East standings, while Georgetown (13-11, 5-8) has won four of their last five games after a six-game losing streak.

Why it matters

This game is an important conference matchup as UConn looks to maintain their position atop the Big East standings, while Georgetown is trying to build momentum after a recent hot streak. The Huskies have played in several close games this season, so their ability to make plays down the stretch will be tested against the scrappy Hoyas.

The details

In their previous meeting, UConn eked out a 64-62 win over Georgetown. The Hoyas shot 43.9% in that game, which was the fifth loss during a six-game slide. But since then, Georgetown has won four of their last five, including a victory over Creighton. UConn is coming off an 80-70 win at Butler, led by a 24-point performance from Solo Ball, who hit a season-high six 3-pointers.

What they’re saying

“We get everyone's best shot, but when it got to two or four or wherever it got to there, our response was to get it to double figures and make some big shots. And any road win in conference is like worth two.”

— Danny Hurley, Head Coach, UConn Huskies (statenews.net)

“It felt good. My teammates are always uplifting me. I had it going tonight, people kept finding me. Credit to my teammates. Glad I was able to hit some shots.”

— Solo Ball (statenews.net)

“I thought we played hard. We didn't have intelligence playing today. We did not do what we were supposed to do, from a scouting standpoint, we did not execute our way into victory. We tried to play our way into victory.”

— Ed Cooley, Head Coach, Georgetown Hoyas (statenews.net)

What’s next

The winner of this game will take sole possession of first place in the Big East standings, at least temporarily, until St. John's plays Providence on the same day.

The takeaway

This matchup between the No. 6 Huskies and the surging Hoyas should be a closely contested conference battle, with UConn looking to maintain their lead atop the Big East and Georgetown aiming to pull off an upset and continue their recent hot streak.
