Washington State vs Georgetown Prediction 

Washington State comes into this matchup as a very high scoring team, but they also allow a ton of points on the defensive end of the court. Washington State did finish the season with some success, as they won three of their last four games. Georgetown is the much better defensive team in this matchup, but they are shooting just 44.5% from the field. The Hoyas have lost five of their last six games, including two bad losses to DePaul. Georgetown is probably the better team in this matchup, but Washington State is shooting 49% from the field and I think that offense will keep them in the game. Take the Cougars with the points.
