Nebraska vs Georgetown College Basketball Betting Preview
Georgetown is a mess in the Crown, as the roster is in total flux. Thomas Sorber has been out for a while, but the Hoyas have also been without Drew Fielder, Jayden Epps and Micah Peavy. Apparently, the locker room has been hit with norovirus, per Jordan Majewski of Staring At The Floorboards.
I don’t know what Ed Cooley will run with the severely shorthanded roster.
The Hoyas launched 36 triples against Washington State on Monday, their highest single-game mark of the season, and rode Malik Mack’s 8-for-12 3-point shooting and 37-point performance to a win.
Nebraska’s ultra-compact defense will allow those over-the-top jumpers. However, the Hoyas also snagged 18 offensive rebounds against Wazzu’s horrific rebounding unit, and that will be a much more challenging task against the Cornhuskers’ ultra-compact defense.
On the other end of the court, Cooley will likely play plenty of zone coverage based on roster availability. The key to stopping Nebraska is to stop Brice Williams in dribble handoff and off-ball screening actions, and he was a firecracker against zone this season (1.63 PPP), albeit on limited possessions (39 points in 24 possessions).
This will be a high-variance game. I don’t know what (or who) to expect from the Hoyas, and the spread will likely be decided by how many jumpers they make.
I’ll likely stay away from this game, but I’d lay the points with Nebraska if forced to pick a side.
I think Nebraska has more consistent avenues to offense against the shorthanded Hoyas, and I highly doubt that Mack will repeat his miraculous performance from Monday.
If anything, I’d expect negative regression for him and the team, and the game could turn ugly quickly if they’re missing jumpers because it’s impossible to create in the paint against the Huskers.
