(NCAAB) Butler vs. Georgetown University,
Point Spread: -2.00 | -106.00 Georgetown University (Home)
Result: Loss
Butler picked up a must win in their last outing to snap their 3 game losing streak, but it wasn't an overly impressive result from the Bulldogs as they beat Seton Hall at home by a final of 70-68. Even though Georgetown stands 15-8 overall and 5-5 in the Big East, the Hoyas arguably have even more work than Butler to get into the NCAA tournament given their lackluster nonconference schedule. Georgetown has been taking a nice step forward this season as a program and one of the better wins for the Hoyas in conference came in their great 84-76 win at Butler. In their last outing Georgetown came through on the road again getting past Providence by a final of 76-67. We like what Georgetown has shown over the past couple weeks winning 3 of their last 4 game with their only defeat during this stretch coming at Villanova. We like Georgetown to take care of business at home as the Hoyas go on to cover the spread as they are playing better ball right now.
