No. 16 North Carolina Hosts Georgetown on Sunday After Road Win at Kentucky

UNC tests its frontcourt edge against Georgetown's veteran guards.

Overview

Tipoff is set for 5 p.m. ET Sunday at the Dean E. Smith Center with television coverage on ESPN.
Georgetown enters 6-2 under Ed Cooley with wins over Maryland and Clemson but will be without 7-foot-1 reserve Vince Iwuchukwu for six to eight weeks following a medical procedure.
UNC’s point-guard rotation remains in flux as freshman Derek Dixon earned late-game minutes at Kentucky and Seth Trimble remains sidelined.
The Hoyas protect the ball at an elite rate at 8.6 turnovers per game, led by scoring guards KJ Lewis and Malik Mack who can stretch defenses from three.
North Carolina’s path leans on the glass after grabbing 20 offensive rebounds at Rupp Arena, a potential advantage against a Georgetown frontcourt anchored by Julius Halaifonua, who has battled foul trouble.
