Georgetown vs Creighton Prediction 

Creighton comes into this game after losing to Alabama last time out, but they have won three of their last four games, including a nice win over Kansas. The Bluejays have had some struggles early in this season, but they are playing their best basketball right now. Georgetown is 8-2 to start the season, but their best win is against Syracuse, who is not very good this year. We have seen the Hoyas lose by double digits to Notre Dame and West Virginia this season and I think that might happen again here. Take the Bluejays on the road.
