February 1st Picks

Pick #1 Georgetown Hoyas


     Mainly for the sake of them being at home. However UConn is in a bit of a slump right now. Overall these teams matchup pretty evenly. UConn ranks 141st in points per game, 39th in rebounds, 122nd in assists and 53rd in feild goal percent; countered by Georgetown's 103rd in ppg, 124th in rebounds, 102 in assists and 54th in feild goal percent. After starting the season 12-1, UConn has lost 5 of their last 7 games, and has lost their last three games to unranked opponents (Cinci, Tennessee and Notre Dame). Playing Georgwtown on the road is probably going to be a pretty tough way to break the trend. However, Georgetown hasn't been spectacular either as of late. The Hoyas are 3-3 in their last 6 games, including a 68-64 loss at home to Cinci (who beat UConn as well on the road). Obviously both teams are struggling a little right now, but I would put my money on the team who has struggled the least and has homecourt advantage. Hoyas is my pick.

Possibly more to come...
