Georgetown vs. Seton Hall Prediction

I’m with Georgetown here. I get the concern of a letdown after such a big win for the Hoyas over Creighton last time out, but the Hoyas are the more trustworthy team in this matchup. Seton Hall plays decent defense, but they can’t hit water if they fall out of a boat offensively, and I think the Hoyas get the upper hand on the road here. Give me Georgetown in this one.
