Overview

  • UConn edged Georgetown 64-62 to move to 18-1 overall and 8-0 in the Big East, stretching its series run over the Hoyas to 11 straight, which matches a program best.
  • Tarris Reed Jr. led early and finished with 15 points and 11 rebounds, powering the Huskies through long offensive droughts.
  • Silas Demary Jr. added 12 points and five assists, and freshman Braylon Mullins hit late free throws after grabbing a key offensive rebound; Solo Ball missed two free throws before KJ Lewis misfired on a potential tying three.
  • The Huskies shot a season-low 36.2% from the field and just 5-for-26 from three but committed only six turnovers and improved to 9-0 away from home.
  • Georgetown fell to 9-9 and 1-6 in league play with its fifth straight loss and 24th in a row against ranked opponents; UConn hosts Villanova next Saturday.
