Georgetown vs. Creighton Prediction
I’m on Creighton here. I just don’t think the Hoyas have enough in the tank to hang around with Creighton for a full 40 minutes. The Hoyas have really only been able to take down DePaul, who have easily been the worst team in the Big East this season. Creighton’s simply the far better team and I trust them to blow out Georgetown a lot more than I trust the Hoyas to keep this game close. Give me Creighton laying the wood.
