The Marquette Golden Eagles will look to build on their 88-56 win over Providence last time out. Justin Lewis leads the Golden Eagles in scoring and rebounding with 15.7 PPG and 8.2 RPG while Darryl Morsell has 13.3 PPG as the only other double-digit scorer for Marquette so far this season. Tyler Kolek also leads Marquette in assists with a team-high 6.1 APG as well this season.

The Georgetown Hoyas will look to bounce back from an 80-73 loss to TCU at home in their last matchup. Aminu Mohammed leads the Hoyas in scoring with 14.6 PPG and a team-high 8.7 RPG to lead Georgetown in rebounding while Kaiden Rice is right behind with 14.5 PPG this season. Donald Carey has 12.8 PPG with 5.3 RPG and 3.5 APG while Dante Harris has 12.8 PPG with a team-high 5.3 APG to lead the Hoyas in assists and to round out the group of double-digit scorers for Georgetown so far this season.

Marquette is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 road games and 6-2 ATS in their last 8 Friday games while the over is 4-1 in their last 5 games against a team with a winning record. The over is 6-1 in their last 7 home games.
I get the allure of points with a home dog like Georgetown, but truth be told I’ve been low on Georgetown for some time now and while Marquette isn’t a whole lot better, the Golden Eagles looked downright dominant against Providence and I’m thinking this is an instance of someone knowing something and I’ll lay the points Marquette here.
