Georgetown vs DePaul Prediction
DePaul won both games against Georgetown this season, which includes a six-point win just a few days ago. With two straight wins, the best ball DePaul has played since November, you can talk yourself into the underdog. However, Georgetown is still the better team overall and while losses in four of its last five isn’t ideal, the Hoyas were big underdogs in all of those games, outside of the DePaul matchup. I don’t believe the lesser team is capable of winning three times in a season. I’ll lay the points with Georgetown in the first round of the Big East Tournament.
