UConn vs Georgetown

UConn’s 13-game winning streak, a suffocating top-10 defense, and a 10-game head-to-head run over Georgetown make backing the Huskies on the -800 moneyline the straightforward side, even if the price offers modest upside. With Tarris Reed Jr. anchoring the interior and Solo Ball plus Alex Karaban driving a balanced offense, UConn’s current form and 5-0 road record contrast sharply with a Hoyas team riding a five-game Big East skid and 23 straight losses to AP Top 25 opponents. Georgetown’s backcourt of KJ Lewis and Malik Mack has enough shot-making to threaten an upset on paper, but UConn’s depth and experience, along with Georgetown’s late-game collapses, keep the probability heavily tilted toward the favorite despite injuries that list UConn’s Jacob Furphy and Alec Millender as questionable and Georgetown’s Isaiah Abraham, Austin Montgomery, and DeShawn Harris-Smith on the report. Given the high likelihood of a Huskies win but limited payout at this number, this moneyline recommendation earns a solid but not elite B grade. Odds and availability are subject to change.

Georgetown’s up-tempo, guard-driven offense and shaky defense, paired with UConn’s efficient 79.3 points per game attack, lean this matchup toward the Over 141.5 despite the Huskies’ elite defensive profile. The teams combine to average roughly 156 points per night, and with Lewis and Mack capable of pushing the pace against a UConn group that shares the ball (18.5 assists per game) and scores inside through Reed Jr. and Karaban, sustained scoring on both ends is well within reach. Historical meetings have seen UConn regularly put up big numbers on the Hoyas, and if Georgetown can stay close enough to avoid an early garbage-time slowdown, late fouling and free throws should help nudge this total past the number, though UConn’s ability to completely smother weaker offenses keeps this to a B- rather than a higher-confidence play.

Tarris Reed Jr.’s dominance in the paint, combined with Alex Karaban’s history of torching Georgetown and UConn’s double-digit wins in recent meetings, suggests the Huskies can clear the -12.5 spread even on the road. Karaban has averaged over 23 points on blistering efficiency in prior games versus the Hoyas, and this version of Georgetown comes in on a five-game conference skid with well-documented second-half fades, while UConn rides a long overall streak and owns one of the nation’s best scoring margins. The main caution flag is UConn’s middling 6-12 record against the spread and a tendency to relax late when comfortably ahead, but given the sizable gap in defensive efficiency, rebounding, and depth—especially with Georgetown managing multiple rotation injuries—the Huskies are still the preferred side at standard -110 juice, earning a B grade for a bet that balances edge with moderate risk.
