Albany vs. Georgetown Prediction
I’m on Georgetown here. I’ll give the Hoyas credit, they’ve been able to take out the weaker teams that they’ve gone up against this season and I think it’s important for the Hoyas to just remember to handle business against the weaker teams to get ready for Big East play. I just don’t see Albany hanging for a full 40 minutes and I think Georgetown pulls away in the second half. Give me the Hoyas.
