WHAT’S AT STAKE
Georgetown: The Hoyas are looking to win two straight Big East regular season games for the first time since 2021. Jayden Epps has scored at least 30 in two straight games.
Villanova: Had won four of five before getting blown out at UConn over the week. Villanova needs to finish strong down the stretch to get back into the NCAA Tournament after a one year absence. A loss at home to Georgetown would be disastrous.
THE HAMMER AND THE NAIL
Since the 2013-14 season, Villanova is 21-3 against Georgetown. The Wildcats have won 11 straight at home in the series going back to before realignment.
IT’S BEEN SO LONG
Georgetown’s last win at Villanova came back in 2011 when Austin Freeman scored 30 in the Hoyas 69-66 victory. Going back even further, the Hoyas last won at the Pavilion in 2005 when Darrel Owens hit two free throws with .1 second left for the 66-64 victory. Georgetown spoiled Villanova’s 20th anniversary of the 1985 National Championship that day by winning by the exact same score.
