ESPN/USA Today College Basketball Top 25: #10 Georgetown Hoyas Battle #13 Notre Dame Fighting Irish on Monday
#10 Georgetown Hoyas will travel to face #13 Notre Dame Fighting Irish in an early Big East college basketball battle on Monday night at 7:30pm.
The Hoyas (10-2, 1-1 Big East) are coming off of a streak-ending home loss against then-#3 Pittsburgh Panthers, 70-54, which snapped their 29-game home winning streak (the third longest in the NCAA). Prior to the Pitt game, Georgetown defeated then-#2 Connecticut Huskies, 74-63, on the road at UConn.
The Hoyas will now travel to South Bend in an attempt to snap Notre Dame's 44-game home winning streak, the longest in the NCAA after BYU's 53-game streak was snapped over the weekend.
Notre Dame (10-3, 1-1 Big East) is led by reigning Big East Player of the Year Luke Harangody, who is 10th in the nation in scoring (23.5 ppg) and third in rebounding (12.5 rpg).
Guards Kyle McAlarney and Tory Jackson, the team's leader in assists (5.7 apg) and steals (1.7 spg), will need to be key against Georgetown's stifling defense, which is the nation's best in opponent's field goal percentage.
The Hoyas are led by junior forward DaJuan Summers, who leads the team with 15.3 ppg, and freshman sensation Greg Monroe, whom many consider to be the best freshman in the nation.
Monroe is third on the team with 12.9 points per game and leads the defensive-minded Hoyas in rebounds (5.8), steals (1.9) and blocks (1.8) per game.
On offense, the Hoyas have four scorers in double-digits: Summers, Austin Freeman (13.1), Monroe, and Chris Wright (12.9).
This will be the Hoyas' third straight game against a top 15 team. They also play #9 Syracuse and #2 Duke over the next week in one of college basketball's toughest schedules.
