Georgetown Hoyas Trying to Snap Losing Streak
Georgetown comes into this matchup with a 13-17 overall record and a 5-14 record in Big East play, and the Hoyas have struggled during the closing stretch of the season. Georgetown has had difficulty maintaining consistency, especially against stronger conference opponents. In their last five games, the Hoyas have recently lost to St. John’s, Xavier, Marquette, Seton Hall, and Butler.
The Hoyas average 74.4 points per game while allowing 73.8 points per contest, and they shoot 44% from the field this season. Georgetown also averages 35.8 rebounds and 14.9 assists per game, showing that they can create scoring opportunities when their offense is functioning effectively.

Providence Friars vs Georgetown Hoyas Pick
Providence Friars vs Georgetown Hoyas Pick
- Pick: Providence Friars - Spread
Providence enters this matchup with the stronger offensive attack and a slightly better overall form. The Friars average nearly 86 points per game and have shown the ability to score efficiently against conference opponents. Georgetown has struggled recently and enters the game on a losing streak, which could make it difficult for them to keep pace with Providence’s scoring ability.
Providence Friars vs Georgetown Hoyas Total Pick
- Pick: Over the Total
I like the over in this matchup because Providence tends to play in high-scoring games due to their fast-paced offense and inconsistent defense. Georgetown is capable of contributing offensively at home, and with both teams allowing plenty of points throughout the season, the total should have a strong chance to go over.
Final Score Prediction: Providence Friars 86, Georgetown Hoyas 78
