UConn vs Georgetown Prediction

I’m with Georgetown here. I get the case to be made for UConn in this matchup as the Huskies have stepped it up with McNeeley in the lineup while Georgetown is missing Thomas Sorber for the rest of the year. That being said, I’m still not sold on this UConn team that’s only won once by 11 points since the beginning of December. Ed Cooley teams pride themselves on playing strong defense, and I think the Hoyas keep this one respectable. Give me Georgetown and the points here.
