Georgetown vs UConn Prediction
The UConn Huskies are obviously the better team, but they’ve been shaky as of late, losing to Villanova and almost getting upset by Providence. Not having Liam McNeeley doesn’t help matters. I said in previous write-ups that the Georgetown Hoyas may be a good basketball team. Georgetown plays defense and has some guys who can take over offensively. Georgetown has beat the teams it’s supposed to beat, upset Creighton, and is 10-1 SU at home. Georgetown has also covered eight of its last 10 games overall. The UConn Huskies are 1-4 ATS in their last five games. I like Georgetown to be physical and make a game of this. Give me the points.
