A thrilling college basketball matchup is set for Saturday, February 14, at Gampel Pavilion in Storrs, Connecticut, as the No. 6 UConn Huskies host the Georgetown Hoyas. The contest is scheduled to tip off at 8 p.m. EST and will be available for streaming on Peacock, a platform known for offering exclusive access to several Big Ten and Big East games for subscriptions starting at $10.99 per month.
The two teams faced each other a month ago in a nail-biting game that saw UConn narrowly defeat Georgetown, 64-62, to maintain their unbeaten streak in the Big East at that time. The Huskies have continued to demonstrate their strength, overcoming additional tight contests, including an overtime victory against Villanova and a 6-point win over Providence, before achieving commanding wins. However, they did experience their first conference loss of the season recently against No. 17 St. John’s.
In their previous encounter, Tarris Reed Jr. was instrumental for UConn, finishing with 15 points and 11 rebounds, while teammates Silas Demary Jr., Braylon Mullins, Solo Ball, and Alex Karaban collectively added 40 points. This time, the Huskies come into the game with an impressive record of 23-2 overall and 13-1 in the Big East, while Georgetown stands at 13-11 and 5-8 in the conference, following their recent defeat to Villanova, where they lost by a score of 80-73.
As fans gear up for this exciting matchup, there is hope that both teams will put on a show, with UConn looking to solidify their standing and Georgetown aiming for a much-needed victory.
