Georgetown vs West Virginia Prediction 

West Virginia comes into this matchup after going to overtime in each of their last three games, so they will be looking for a less dramatic win here. The Mountaineers are only shooting 43.8% from the field, but they do have two very impressive wins over Gonzaga and Arizona. Georgetown comes into this game with a 7-1 record on the year, but they did lose the only difficult game they played, which was against Notre Dame. The Hoyas have the advantage in most metrics, but that is due to the easy schedule so far. The Mountaineers are playing very well right now and I do think they are going to get the win, but I am taking the points with Georgetown, as West Virginia has played a bunch of close games.
