Maryland Terrapins vs Georgetown Hoyas
Sunday, November 8, 2026
Matchup Analysis
Georgetown Hoyas is 0-12 straight up at home versus a ranked opponent, a glaring red flag for the Hoyas in this opener.
The ATS trend shows Georgetown’s home record against quality foes sitting at 0‑12, a win percentage of 0.0 over a sample size of 12 games. That barren stretch suggests the Hoyas have struggled to cover against top competition, making the spread a dubious proposition.
Turnover differentials tilt heavily toward Maryland, with Georgetown averaging 8.0 turnovers per game while the Terrapins generate 13.0, a negative gap of -5.0. Granting the opponent an extra five possessions a night typically translates into easy scoring opportunities and can swing the outcome in Maryland’s favor.
Shooting metrics reveal a modest edge for Georgetown from beyond the arc at 26.923 percent compared with Maryland’s 25.0, yet Maryland posts a slightly higher overall field‑goal percentage at 47.222 versus Georgetown’s 46.032. The marginal shooting advantage does little to offset the turnover disparity and the Hoyas’ historical inability to cover.
There is no line and no side; the edge is pass.
