The Gavitt Tipoff Games start Wednesday night when Georgetown visits Piscataway, New Jersey, to face Rutgers. The Gavitt Tipoff Games pits teams from the Big East against teams from the Big Ten. It is time to continue our college basketball odds series with a Georgetown-Rutgers prediction, pick, and how-to-watch.
Georgetown is 1-1 under new head coach Ed Cooley. The team expected to be 2-0 heading into this matchup with Rutgers, but a surprising loss to Holy Cross on Saturday night changed their plans. Georgetown had an 11-point lead with eight minutes remaining in the second half but blew the lead and lost 68-67. Georgetown played a disciplined game, only having four turnovers against Holy Cross. However, they shot just 11-32 from inside the arc. Georgetown lacks offensive chemistry, starting four transfers and a freshman. Rowan Brumbaugh, a transfer from Texas, is Georgetown's leading scorer with 15 points per game. Jayden Epps, their transfer from Illinois, had 22 points to lead the team against Holy Cross.
Rutgers are 2-1 entering this matchup, coming off two consecutive victories over Boston University and Bryant. They opened the season with a disappointing 68-61 loss to Princeton on a neutral floor. The loss to Princeton ignited a fire in Rutgers, as coach Steve Pikiell said, “After the Princeton game, we really made a concerted effort the last two games — we're really gonna be a good rebounding team.” Rutgers is led by 6-foot-11 inside force Clifford Omoruyi, averaging 10 points and nine rebounds per game. Gavin Griffiths is also beginning to make a name for himself in his first season, scoring 25 points in the 69-45 victory over Boston University.
