Red Raiders to host Georgetown in Big 12-BIG EAST Battle
May 18, 2022 | Men's Basketball
LUBBOCK, Texas – Texas Tech will host Georgetown in the Big 12-BIG EAST Battle at 7 p.m. on Wednesday at the United Supermarkets Arena. Â
Tech and Georgetown will meet for the third time in program history and for the first time in the regular season. The Hoyas own a 2-0 record over the Red Raiders with NCAA Tournament victories in 1986 and 1996.
Tech is currently 4-2 this season after three games in Maui while Georgetown travels to Texas at 4-3 after a win over UMBC on Saturday. The Red Raiders are 3-0 at home this season and bring a 24-game home winning streak into the game.Â
Georgetown is coming off a season where it was 6-25 overall with an 0-19 record in BIG EAST play. Â The Hoyas are led by NBA legend Patrick Ewing who led Georgetown to the 2021 BIG EAST Tournament Championship and 2021 NCAA Tournament.
In the last Tech-Georgetown matchup, the Hoyas won 98-90 at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta. Jason Sasser led Tech with 25 points, while Cory Carr and Koy Smith scored 16 each. Allen Iverson led the Hoyas with 32 points and five assists to end the Tech season with a 30-2 overall record.
Tech is 0-2 in the Big 12-BIG EAST Battle after falling 72-68 at Providence College last season and dropping a 65-60 overtime decision at DePaul in 2020. The Red Raiders were scheduled to host St. John's in the 2021 Big 12-BIG EAST Battle but had that game canceled. The game against Georgetown will be the first time Tech has hosted a current BIG EAST opponent since Creighton came to Lubbock in 1973. The Red Raiders won that 59-57 on Jan. 4, 1973.
The matchups, which will be played in late November and early December, were jointly determined by the two conferences. The home school has the right to determine the venue of its game. Broadcast arrangements for the games will be determined by the national television rights holder of the home team, which is FOX Sports for the BIG EAST and ESPN for the Big 12. The four-year agreement between the two conferences continues through the 2022-23 season with an equal number of games played in each conference's home market each year. Television designations and game times will be announced when available.Â
