Georgetown vs Clemson Prediction 11/13/2026 Today’s College Basketball Picks

The Georgetown Hoyas and the Clemson Tigers will meet Friday night in a non-conference college basketball matchup at Littlejohn Coliseum in Clemson, South Carolina. Let’s take a look at this game from a betting perspective.

Georgetown Hoyas vs. Clemson Tigers Prediction

In my view, this matchup favors the Georgetown Hoyas to stay within the number (6.5). Why? Clemson has been a formidable offensive team through the opening week of the season, averaging an impressive 86.3 points per game and enters this contest with an undefeated 3-0 win-loss record which includes notable victories over Stetson and North Dakota.

Similarly, Georgetown has tallied a perfect 3-0 record through three games played this season. The Hoyas have been strong offensively, averaging 83 points per contest, while showcasing strong guard play. While Clemson holds slight statistical advantages on paper, Georgetown has shown it can push the pace and stay competitive in high scoring environments.

The biggest question is whether Clemson can create enough separation to cover the number at home. While the Tigers should control stretches of the game, Georgetown possesses enough backcourt firepower to stay within striking distance. I think the Hoyas can do just that in this contest. With that said, I am backing the Georgetown Hoyas plus the 6.5 points in this game.

Georgetown Hoyas Betting Preview

The Georgetown Hoyas enter Friday night’s contest with a 3-0 overall win-loss record (3-0 at home, 0-0 on the road), which includes victories over Loyola Maryland, Delaware and the Maryland Terrapins.

How have the Hoyas performed from a team data perspective in 2026? In three games played this season, Georgetown is averaging 83 points per game (97th in nation), while allowing opponents 70 points per contest. What did we learn from the data just presented? Georgetown has shown tremendous offensive capabilities, though defensive sharpness on the road will be tested against a quality ACC opponent.

Senior guard Jaland Lowe has been the focal point of the Georgetown offense this season, averaging 18.3 points, 5 assists and 8.3 assists on 53.1 percent shooting from the field per game.
