Scouting Georgetown (2-14, 2-14 BIG EAST)
Limited to their BIG EAST schedule by Covid hurt the Hoyas more than many teams as Georgetown was such an inexperienced squad.
Georgetown continued to improve as the season wore on, grabbing its second victory of the season over St. John's on Feb. 24, 62-58. The Hoyas also forced Seton Hall to overtime on Feb. 18, before falling 79-72.
Freshman Kelsey Ransom leads the way for Georgetown with 10.5 ppg this season.
The Hoyas are expected to start a lineup of three forwards, giving Georgetown a distinct size advantage.
Scouting Creighton (7-10, 6-7 BIG EAST)
Saying the Bluejays have been inconsistent during the 2020-21 season, would certainly be an understatement.
During 17 games the Bluejays have used 10 different starting units. The projected starting five of Bachelor, Carda, Parham, Rembao and Saunders played exactly three games together.
One large reason the Bluejays have struggled to be consistent this season is injuries. Starting point guard Tatum Rembao has missed eight games due to injuries. Creighton has also been without starter Rachel Saunders since the first meeting with Connecticut on Dec. 17.

Creighton's Keys To the Game
- Rebounding: In the first meeting with the Hoyas Creighton won the battle of the boards 37-34 and controlled most of the second half. At Georgetown the Hoyas held a 37-30 edge on the glass, holding a six-point lead with under two minutes remaining.
- X-Factor: In Omaha, junior Payton Brotzki delivered a career-high 18 points in a spot start. At Georgetown it was freshman Morgan Maly hitting a critical three. Can another Bluejay step into the spotlight in this third meeting.
- Three-point Shooting: Georgetown's size makes outside shooting critical for Creighton. In the first matchup Creighton knocked down 12 treys. The second meeting saw the Bluejays hit nine (9-of-28), but go just 3-of-19 from inside arc.
