UConn Tops Georgetown 93-79 as Huskies Push for Big East Momentum
Tarris Reed Jr. and Solo Ball led UConn with standout performances, but questions persist about the team's consistency heading into the postseason.
- Tarris Reed Jr. recorded a double-double with 20 points and 10 rebounds off the bench, while Solo Ball added 20 points, including four 3-pointers, in UConn's victory over Georgetown.
- UConn dominated second-chance points, outscoring Georgetown 30-2, and shot an efficient 56% from the field in the game.
- Despite the win, UConn continues to face challenges in perimeter play and turnovers, having allowed opponents to shoot 35.9% from three in conference play while struggling with ball control.
- Head coach Dan Hurley emphasized the need for grit and composure as the Huskies aim to improve their Big East seeding and NCAA tournament standing, currently hovering around an 8-9 seed projection.
- Georgetown's Micah Perry scored 25 points, but the Hoyas were without injured freshman standout Thomas Sorber, further highlighting UConn's dominance in the matchup.
