The UConn men’s basketball team is set to take on Georgetown in a pivotal BIG EAST matchup at the XL Center in Hartford on Wednesday night. The Huskies are looking to sweep the season series with the Hoyas for the fifth straight year and maintain their lead in the conference standings. Freshman standout Liam McNeeley leads UConn in scoring and has been on a tear since returning from injury, earning multiple BIG EAST Freshman of the Week honors. Captain Alex Karaban and sharpshooter Solo Ball are also key contributors for the Huskies.
Georgetown, coached by Ed Cooley, is coming off a tough loss against Creighton and will look to bounce back against UConn. Micah Peavy leads the Hoyas in scoring, with Jayden Epps and Malik Mack providing additional offensive firepower. Star freshman Thomas Sorber, however, has been ruled out for the remainder of the season.
Fans are encouraged to wear throwback UConn gear to the game, which will feature $3 hot dogs, pizza, and soft drinks. The matchup between these longtime conference rivals is sure to be an exciting one as both teams look to secure a spot in the upcoming BIG EAST Tournament. After the game, UConn will hit the road for their final away game of the season against Providence on March 1.
