Georgetown Hoyas vs Providence Friars prediction
The Georgetown Hoyas are looking worse and worse by the week, and their defense is a massive concern. Georgetown has allowed 80 or more points in each of its last three games. Georgetown has allowed a combined 182 points in games against Butler and Xavier. No good. The Providence Friars have the offense to give Georgetown fits, they’re great defensively and 10-2 SU at home. Providence has covered 7 of its last 10 games. The line is steep, but the Friars should handle it. I’ll lay the points.
