The Pirates have won six straight games in the series at Walsh Gym. Georgetown's last victory in South Orange came on Feb. 10, 2017.

FIRST MEETING THIS YEAR
The Pirates rallied from a 21-point deficit early in the contest to stun Georgetown, 57-49, in its first BIG EAST game of the season on Dec. 20.

The Hall trailed 21-2 after the first quarter, a program record for points futility in a single-quarter, but turned it on over the final three quarters, outscoring the Hoyas, 55-to-28. The Hall out-rebounded Georgetown, 19-to-15 in the second half, after being out-rebounded 16-to-4 in the first quarter alone.

SCOUTING GEORGETOWN

Georgetown already has victories over DePaul, Butler, Providence and Xavier in conference, but has lost two straight. Most recently, the Hoyas were edged at St. Johns, 57-56, on Sunday.
