Shane’s Free Pick
Georgetown has been a little more competitive as of late, and they are going to continue that here. Providence’s defense at times hasn’t been exactly elite, and Georgetown is going to find enough offensive success here to keep it close. Georgetown might not win, but they are going to cover the spread.
