Georgetown vs UMBC team news & key performers
Georgetown Hoyas team news
It's been a rough stretch for the Hoyas, in the earlier loss to Dayton, they dug themselves an early 13-3 hole, trailed by as many as 15 before halftime, and despite a furious late push behind Mack's 24-point outburst to force overtime, they watched the game slip away. The same sluggish starts haunted them against Miami, falling behind by 21 before the break and never truly threatening, even with a career-best 23-point showing from Caleb Williams.
After the Invitational, Mack, who leads Georgetown with 16.7 points and 4.3 assists per game, didn't shy away from accountability, taking responsibility for the team's slow openings and stressing that the fix begins with him. Lewis, the high-scoring transfer from Arizona, is right behind him in production, averaging 16.6 points this season.
UMBC Retrievers team news
The Retrievers are getting their first crack at a power-conference opponent this year after finishing last season 13-19 overall and 5-11 in America East play. They most recently rolled past Delaware State 71–57 on Saturday at Chesapeake Employers Insurance Arena in Baltimore.
The offensive spark for UMBC has come from Jah’Likai King (12.9 ppg) and DJ Armstrong (12 ppg), with Armstrong lighting teams up from deep at a scorching 48.8% while averaging three triples a night. The Retrievers shoot a respectable 34.8% from long range collectively, noticeably better than Georgetown’s 28.4% clip.
