The Hoyas look to avoid letdown against UMBC
Georgetown (7-3) is playing it’s best basketball of the season.
On the current three game winning streak, the Hoyas are averaging 87 ppg. With increased ball movement, Georgetown’s shooting percentage has been off the charts during this recent run. They are shooting 48.4% from the field including 45.9% from the three point line.
Tonight Georgetown squares off against UMBC (6-6).
The Retrievers play a three guard offense led by senior K.J. Jackson. UMBC’s head coach Ryan Odom has used nine different starting lineups in the first 12 games.
On paper this looks like a trap game but after what happened against UNC-Greensboro, the Hoyas should be focused.

Syracuse’s Jalen Carey should have been given a technical vs Hoyas
On Saturday, Syracuse’s Carey was ejected from the game when he grabbed/tripped Georgetown’s Terrell Allen. The Big East home office said Carey should’ve also been assessed a technical for his actions.
