LINKS: Green Bay Comes to Georgetown for Second Game (Updated Streaming Info)

The Wisconsin Green Bay Phoenix (0-1) come to Washington, DC to face the Georgetown Hoyas (1-0) in an only-locally-televised Game 2. Green Bay lost their first game to the Indiana State Sycamores, 80-53, after only trailing at halftime 34-31.

UPDATE: GUHoyas relays that “Saturday’s matchup can be seen live locally on WDCA FOX Five Plus and will be available on the FOX Sports App and foxsports.com to authenticated subscribers across the country.”

The matchup appears to be set as part of the on-campus portion of the Jersey Mike’s Jamaica Classic.

Of course, for those outside the DMV, this game may be difficult or impossible to find on a television or stream. The radio broadcast, with play-by-play by Rich Chvotkin in his 49th year, is expected to be streamed on The TEAM 980 and SiriusXM streaming channel 982 and radio channel 392.

Looking at the Green Bay roster, they are not tall. The Phoenix tallest player appears to be 6’10” (Donovan Short) but only Brock Heffner (6’7”) and Cade Meyer (6’8”) receive significant minutes.

Somewhat surprising for a shorter team, GB doesn’t shoot a lot of threes. In the two prior years under head coach Will Ryan, they’ve been ranked 250+ in three-point attempt percentage. Last year, Green Bay attempted 18.4 per game and it was only 20.4 in the prior year.

The Phoenix attempted only 18 threes on Monday at ISU with Davin Ziegler hitting 2 for 5 from beyond the arc (7-12 FGs), scoring 19 points in 30 minutes. Will Ryan may not have definitively figured out his rotations as he played eight players with over 18 minutes apiece and had 20 bench points, but the Phoenix do not appear poised to run and gun like the Hoyas’ game 1 opponent.

Against the Georgetown defense, this site projects that the shot makeup of the Green Bay offense will be 39.8% three-pointers (2.3% above the D1 average), 27.9% mid-range jumpers (a shade below the D1 average), and 32.4% near-proximity twos (2.3% below the D1 average)...

Green Bay is one of the worst teams in college hoops when it comes to shooting (rated 339th in overall field goal conversion rate). Meanwhile, the Georgetown defense has been unexceptional in defensive field goal percentage, rated 137th nationally in that category...

Turnovers should be a large-scale concern for Green Bay here. On offense, Green Bay is very irresponsible with the basketball and will give it away often. Their field goal attempt rate is well below-average (rated 335th in the country), while their rating for potential quick points allowed off of steals is embarrassingly poor (353rd in the country). As for the opposition, the Georgetown D is fairly aggressive and is certainly capable of coming away with their fair share of steals. They rate well in our analytics on this front, landing at #43 in the nation in potential quick points scored off steals and #104 in defensive field goal attempt rate.
