Georgetown vs Colorado Game Info
Georgetown Hoyas (13-12) vs Colorado Buffaloes (22-8)
Date:Â Saturday, March 20, 2021
Start Time: 12:15 p.m. EST
Venue: Hinkle Fieldhouse – Indianapolis, IN
Coverage:Â CBS
Georgetown is hot, coming off a Big East championship and having to overcome a terrible stretch in the middle of the season. As the case is with basically every Hoyas team, they are big, physical and dominate the boards. Georgetown can have plenty of mismatches in the paint if it can slow the game down and control the tempo. While the Hoyas are underdogs in this game, it could be a classic 12- over 5-seed upset.
Colorado ranks second in the nation in free throw percentage (82.2%) and averaged the second-fewest turnovers in the conference (11.2). Typically, this is the recipe for success in March. The Buffaloes are also a solid defensive team and defend the 3-point shot well. However, as stated above, Georgetown should be able to bully them down low and the Hoyas don’t need to hit 3-pointers to win this game.
