DePaul vs Georgetown basketball Injury report and predictions (March 12), latest on NJ Benson, Thomas Sorber, and more

The Big East Tournament begins on Wednesday, with DePaul vs Georgetown being one of the marquee first-round matchups. The No. 7-seeded Georgetown Hoyas (17-14) will take on the No. 10-seeded DePaul Blue Demons (13-18) in what should be an interesting first-round matchup. The game is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. ET on Wednesday.

Neither team was lucky enough to earn a bye through the first round and will need to overcome the challenge of this game to advance to the quarterfinals on Thursday. However, the injury report could be a factor in the matchup as neither team enters the game fully healthy.
