Team Analysis
Georgetown Hoyas
The Hoyas enter the new season with a fresh look, marked by significant roster turnover. The transfer portal has been a major storyline, with key guard Jayden Epps, who played well for Georgetown, departing for Mississippi State. Additionally, forward Drew Fielder has transferred to USC. The team isn’t just seeing departures, however, as Georgetown has also brought in new talent, securing a commitment from Arizona transfer KJ Lewis. With new pieces to integrate, the Hoyas will be looking to build chemistry quickly on the road in a tough environment.
Maryland Terrapins
Playing in front of their home crowd at the XFINITY Center, the Terrapins look to start their season with a victory. Maryland will lean on its returning experience, which includes a junior guard who averaged 10.8 points per game last season, mostly in a reserve role. As the 5.5-point favorites, the Terps are expected to leverage their home-court advantage and potentially more stable roster against a Hoyas team in transition.

Prediction
This early-season matchup heavily favors the home team. Maryland has the benefit of playing at the XFINITY Center and appears to have a more settled roster compared to Georgetown. The Hoyas have lost key contributors like Jayden Epps and will be working to integrate new transfers like KJ Lewis. That process can take time, and a road game against a Power Five opponent is a difficult place to build cohesion.
Maryland’s relative stability and home-court advantage should be the deciding factors. Expect the Terrapins to control the tempo and capitalize on a Georgetown team still finding its identity.
The Pick: Maryland -5.5
Total: Lean Under 146.5. Early season games, especially with teams featuring new rosters, can often be plagued by offensive inconsistency and turnovers. The Under is the safer play.
