Staff Prediction

Uconn comes into this game as arguably the best team in the country, winning all 12 of their games to open the season. The Huskies have statistically a top 15 offense and defense in the country. Adama Sanogo is having a great season for the Huskies, averaging 19 points per game, and coming off a 27-point performance last time out. Georgetown has lost 3 of their first 4 games in December. I think the Huskies are a legit top 3 team in the country and blow out a not very good Georgetown squad.
