St. Francis vs. Georgetown Prediction

I’m with Georgetown here. I know it’s a bigger number than we’re used to laying comfortably with Georgetown, but the Hoyas are the better team from a talent perspective by a fair margin, and St. Francis has had trouble taking the step up in class when they’ve been asked to this season. I think Georgetown wins this one rather comfortably, so give me the Hoyas laying the big number.
