Butler vs Georgetown Prediction

I’m on the under in this game. Georgetown hasn’t been the sharpest offensive unit in Big East play and I don’t know if I expect that to change here either. However, one thing that Ed Cooley teams are usually predicated on is good defense and being well-coached. I think the defense travels here, and gives an average Butler team a hard time on that end of the floor. The first meeting between these two finished 73-70 earlier this season and a similar first to 70 wins kind of game would not surprise me here in the slightest. Give me the under in this game.
