Marquette Golden Eagles vs. Georgetown Hoyas Prediction

This matchup features Marquette’s balanced scoring and quality backcourt play against a Georgetown team that has been far more reliable at home relative to on the road and defeated the Golden Eagles earlier this season. Marquette’s defensive inconsistency and recent struggles in conference play make the Golden Eagles difficult to trust on the road, especially against a Hoyas team that has played rather well at home in 2025. For the reasons just noted, I am backing the Georgetown Hoyas to cover the 3.5 points in this game.
