The Georgetown Hoyas are an inconsistent, underachieving bunch, but they’re at home here, and they’re kind of due for a breakout performance. The Butler Bulldogs aren’t playing well entering this contest, they’re not as talented as past years and the offense has serious limitations. This is a winnable game for Georgetown. I’ll grab the free bucket.
