Georgetown vs UConn Prediction 

Georgetown came into the Big East Tournament tied for last in the standings, but they have won two games in a row. The Hoyas are shooting 44% from the field and they have allowed 64 and 56 points in their last two. UConn went 17-3 in the Big East and they dominated Xavier on Thursday. The Huskies are shooting 48% from the field and they have allowed 68 or fewer in five straight. This is probably going to be a defensive battle, so I like how many points we are getting with Georgetown. Take the Hoyas here.
