Georgetown vs Providence Prediction

I’m on Georgetown in this one. I get the case to be made for Providence catching points as it can be hard to trust this Georgetown team with consistent performances. However, one win over Villanova (in a game I think had more to do with Villanova losing it than it did about Providence winning it) isn’t going to make me forget about the issues that Providence had defensively when Providence is a team that’s hung their hat on their defense for some time now. Georgetown’s played their best basketball at home this season and side by side, I think they’re the more talented team by a fair margin so I’ll lay the points with the Hoyas in this one.
