Georgetown vs Villanova Prediction
Georgetown beat Villanova back in January on the road as a 7.5-point underdog and is now at home, where the Hoyas have seen 13 of their 16 wins come this season. It’s senior night for Micah Peavy, so the crowd will be into it and the players will want to send him off a winner. However, Georgetown has been a mess as of late and isn’t a team I’m excited to get behind. Villanova has won six of its last eight games and has locked down defensively. Villanova has allowed less than 70 points in six of its last nine games. It’s hard to go against Villanova in this spot. I’ll lay the bucket with the road team.
