Providence vs. Georgetown Prediction
I’m on Providence here. The Friars need to accrue style points if they’re going to have any shot at all of pleading a case to the NCAA tournament committee, and Georgetown is simply in a spot to try to play spoiler. It may be senior night for the Hoyas, but this is just another year that Georgetown basketball would want to forget. I think Providence needs the result more here and on the road, they go and get it done. Give me Providence here.
