Georgetown, Washington State face off in College Basketball Crown
Georgetown and Washington State will meet in the first round of the inaugural College Basketball Crown postseason tournament on Monday at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. It will be the first ever meeting between the programs. Georgetown (17-15), which has clinched its first winning record since the 2018-19 season, will look a bit different in its first postseason action since the 2021 NCAA Tournament. "We're not going out there with a full deck, but we're going out there with some guys who are eager," said Hoyas coach Ed Cooley on Friday. "We're excited. Any time you can play in the postseason and this being the first ever Crown opportunity to play against another league. We'll try and represent the Big East the best way we can. We're excited to go, and we'll see where we end up." Since losing in the first round of the Big East tournament to DePaul nearly three weeks ago, the Hoyas have lost starter Drew Fielder to the transfer portal. The 6-foot-11 sophomore, originally a Providence recruit who then followed Cooley to Georgetown, started 31 games this season while averaging 7.1 points and 5.4 rebounds. Big East All-Freshman selection Thomas Sorber, who missed the final few weeks after requiring turf toe surgery, has entered his name in the 2025 NBA Draft with the option of returning to school. Sorber averaged 14.5 points and a team-high 8.5 rebounds in 24 games. Washington State (19-14) reached the postseason in coach David Riley's first season and its the fourth straight overall as a program. Just like the Hoyas, Riley's Cougars will be without two key players as starters Nate Calmese and Isaiah Watts entered the transfer portal since their West Coast Conference tournament loss to San Francisco on March 9. Calmese led Washington State in scoring (15.2 ppg) and assists (4.4 apg) while Watts averaged 11 points and shot 34.8 percent from 3-point range. Riley gave his thoughts on Tuesday about how a team can prepare to play while keeping an eye on the future with the portal. "It's busy," Riley said. "I think it's fun for me as a coach. There's never a month that's the same. Every month is something different and we have to go recruit players in the portal and we have to dive in and get to know all these people as humans over a week which is crazy in it of itself. It's a fun time." Georgetown, which hasn't won a postseason game since defeating Eastern Washington in the 2015 NCAA Tournament, is one of four Big East schools in the Crown while the Cougars are joined by Oregon State of the WCC. Washington State won a game in the 2024 NCAA Tournament, its first since 2008. Monday's winner will advance to play the winner of Nebraska and Arizona State on Wednesday in the quarterfinals. --Field Level Media Field Level Media 2023 - All Rights Reserved

Villanova at Georgetown Prediction: Odds, Expert Picks, Betting Trends and Stats
An old school Big East showdown Tuesday night in Washington, DC when Georgetown (16-13, 7-11) and Villanova (18-12, 11-8) take the court. The hometown Hoyas will be looking to derail the NCAA Tournament hopes of the Wildcats. Nova has won their last three to get back in the postseason conversation. Georgetown is far more competitive than last season but still has been able to muster only seven conference wins this season. A win over Villanova would be one of the best in the Ed Cooley Era at Georgetown. Georgetown is 13-5 at home and Villanova is 3-7 on the road this season. Lets dive into the matchup and offer some information and possibly a sweat or two.

Expert picks & predictions for Villanova at Georgetown Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) got the Wildcats at a good number: Villanova -3.5 (-110) 'Villanova has wins over St. John's, Marquette, and UConn in the conference and Eric Dixon is a stud. This is a veteran team that has five seniors starting and is the 17th-most experienced team in the country, but all of that gets a little murkier if they get swept by Georgetown. The Hoyas won by one point in the first meeting at Nova and NEVER led by more than two points in that game, yet they won. You don't let something like that happen again. I like Villanova to win the game and cover the -3.5.'

Tonight's Big East men's basketball schedule is highlighted by a marquee matchup between the Georgetown Hoyas (16-11, 7-9) and the Huskies of UConn (18-9, 10-6). The two-time defending champs are not used to inconsistency at this time of the year, but that is what is happening in February. UConn is 2-3 in their last five games losing to St. John's twice and Seton Hall in the last three weeks while also knocking off Villanova and Creighton. Georgetown announced yesterday super freshman Thomas Sorber (foot) will undergo season-ending surgery. That punctures the season for Ed Cooley and the Hoyas.

Providence at Georgetown Prediction: Odds, Expert Picks, Betting Trends and Stats
One of the newer but more intense rivalries in the Big East is renewed tonight in our nation's capital as the Hoyas of Georgetown (15-10, 6-8) host the Providence Friars (12-14, 6-9). Former Providence bench boss Ed Cooley will be seeking his first win against his former team following his tumultuous departure two seasons ago. The Friars rallied to knock off the Hoyas in Providence, 78-68, on January 25. PC is a shell of that team, however, following injuries to key personnel Jabri Abdur-Rahim, Wesley Cardet Jr., and Corey Floyd, Jr. The Hoyas' injured list may not be as long, but they may well be without standout big man Thomas Sorber. The freshman exploded for 25 points and 15 rebounds in the first meeting of the season between these teams. The Friars won their last game, 75-62, at home against Villanova this past Saturday. Georgetown lost to Butler, 97-86, later that day. Georgetown is 3-7 in their last ten games and Providence is 4-6. Lets dive into the matchup and offer some information and possibly a sweat or two.
