Who to watch tonight Georgetown: Aminu Mohammed
The freshman guard had seemed to hit a wall but it could’ve been something as simple as adjusting to how teams were playing him. In his last five games, he’s averaged 13.8 ppg. He’s shooting 25-47 (53%) from the floor. During the same span, he’s averaging 7.2 rebounds.
Who to watch tonight Seton Hall: Ike Obiagu
The Graduate big man should find some opportunities against Georgetown’s bigs tonight. On paper Obiagu’s numbers are ordinary at best: 2.6 points and 4.6 rebounds per game. But the Hoyas have had periods throughout the season where they’ve struggled rebounding the ball. If Obiagu dives and grabs a few offensive rebounds, he should be able to exceed his season averages.
