Is Georgetown a trap game?

[Palatine]

Nestled between Villanova and Creighton. A team we handled easily in the first meeting. Custom designed or the Huskies, they play man to man defense at a pace is similar to ours. This is a game that is easy to look past.

But it is a road test for he Huskies and a conference foe.

It is a trap game
But we will win anyway
Huskies on a roll

 

[HeGotGame]

Yes, if this was a Thursday to Saturday PAC 12 turnaround I would be very very very worried. The fact there is four full days to celebrate and move on from the win gives me hope we will be fully focused come Sunday.

Going +3

 

[aburks41]

This team is locked in. They learned their lesson about looking past certain games a couple weeks ago against Creighton

Any of these 3 games is losable if we play one of our poorer games. Georgetown made a game of it with Villanova the other day.

This is the exact definition of a trap game... UConn coming off a massive win with the game after Georgetown being a big revenge road game. Usually in betting i'd look to fade UConn in this exact spot. The only difference is I feel like Hurley's teams do not overlook any opponent. I think they understand how important winning these next 3 is.

 

[ThabeetDown]

I'd say it'd be a trap game if we had lost yesterday. This team is hungry and confident. They are going to look to absolutely destroy Georgetown. Huskies by 15+.

 

[MTBingNinja]

Not sure what phrase I hate more, “Trap game” or “Rock fight”. Regardless, you’re right….let’s take care of business on Sunday

 

[Hungryhusky99]

No. We feast on the bottom feeders.

 

[auror]

Georgetown isn't good enough to be a trap game.

If it was Depaul or Butler, maybe.

 

[fireford]

Yes. I don't think they'll get "trapped" per se but it absolutely is a trap game coming off an emotional win and then having to follow up with a team they've already beaten handily and are expected to do the same again.

 

[ConnEd]

I expect a big letdown in the 1st half. They'll go to the half down a few. But they'll "right the ship" enough in the 2nd half to win it, but closer than we'd like.

 

[AntG168]

No. We beat Georgetown with our C- game. They aren’t good enough to be a trap game. Now DePaul on senior night before the BET is a major trap game.

 

[Tenspro2002]

Basically the definition of one. I think Hurley has the guys ready and not full of themselves after a big win.

I probably take Georgetown to cover +15 (or whatever) though.

 

[CTFAN4LIFE]

Yeah... let's trap them, press them, and run them out of the gym!

Yes. But they are so awful that it doesn't matter. It would be nice if UConn actually plays well and gets some minutes for Akok, Gaffney and Johnson to give our core guys a break.

 

[Hoophound]

I’ve seen Georgetown play a lot of good teams close. I’d say it’s a legit trap game.

 

[methodology]

I’ll prob be taking gtown + whatever for this exact reason. UConn just won their biggest game of the year and got that monkey off their back. Even though they aren’t overlooking gtown they are not going to come out as hungry and play as well as they did vs Nova. Definitely has the making of a trap game

You just angered mojo gods. Thanks.

Gtown isn’t a good team, neither are they winless in the league bad. Why do you want us to be the “one” . Because someone will be.

 

[HooperScooper]

It's only a trap game if they lose.

 

[UncleSpliff]

Georgetown isn’t going to win a BE game this year certainly not against UConn. They’re terrible.

 

[CaptainRon]

Even with a huge letdown this is a W

Short answer - yes.
