Notre Dame Fighting Irish vs Georgetown Hoyas
The Fighting Irish go into this one with a 92% winning record, and naturally as underdogs against the Georgetown Hoyas. Notre Dame will be sure to keep an eye on the current Georgetown streak (Won 3), and take necessary precautions. The Fighting Irish are averaging 81.3 ppg this season (good for number 16 in the NCAA), and better than the Hoyas’s 81 ppg average in the 2010-2011 NCAA season.
Playing on the road, the Hoyas will need to play to their strengths and their 52.8 field goal percentage is their strongest statistical attribute (and good for number 2 in the whole NCAA Division 1). The Georgetown are 11-1 this season overall (0-0 in the Big East Conference) and today will hope to improve their 6 – 1 record away from Verizon Center.
Notre Dame have been dominating their opponents this season in the freethrows made departement. Their 245 freethrows made is the number 6 best among the 350 colleges in the NCAA D1, and that will be an area that the Georgetown coaching staff will want to balance out today if they want to dampen Notre Dame’s 8 – 0 home record. After 12 games, the Fighting Irish hopeful will be counting for a victory to improve their standing in the Big East Conference.
