T.M. Selection: Georgetown.

I like Georgetown to cover the spread against Providence in this game on Sunday. Georgetown has lost 10 games in a row now but I think it is time for them to stop the bleeding here. They are the only team in the Big East that doesn't have a win in conference play yet but they have looked a lot better in their previous 3 games and I think they can keep this game closer on their home court here. They just lost to St. John's by 10+ points but their 2 games in a row before that were losses within 10 points. If Georgetown has any chance to break out of their funk and finally win a game in conference play then I think their best shot would be on their home court here. Patrick Ewing is also on the hot seat so he will be pushing his players to perform better here and get a win. Providence has won 6 games in a row but I think that run is nearing an end in their upcoming games. Their previous 3 games have all been very close winning the game within 5 points and I think it is only a matter of time until they start making some big mistakes which ends up costing them a game. Providence did get a win at home over Georgetown on this 6 game run that they're on but that win was only by 8 points and I think Georgetown will play much better looking to break out of their funk and get their revenge on Providence for their previous meeting at the same time. I expect Providence to start slowing down on their run and I also expect Georgetown to win a game soon since it's just not practical for them to lose every game in conference play. I like Georgetown to cover the spread here.

T.M. Prediction: 77-74 Providence.
