Georgetown at Marquette picks and predictions
Prediction
Marquette 89, Georgetown 70
Moneyline
PASS. No value here.
Against the spread
The Hoyas are likely drawing a salty Marquette team here. The Eagles were never really in Tuesday's game against Providence and will be looking for a resolute rebound at home. They have covered in 2 other bounce-back efforts so far and are a slight lean here, too.
But PASS unless the hurdle to clear gets closer to 15.5 or 16.

Over/Under
The total has gone Over in 6 of Marquette's last 9 games against Georgetown.
Marquette has showcased a faster tempo in home games this season. Beyond that, the Over has gone 15-8 in its last 23 games.
We should expect a mid-to-fast pace in this match-up, with the heavy favorite being the rabbit of the 2. Georgetown is more efficient on offense. Due a schedule tilting toward better defenses and weak offenses (KenPom rates the GU slate at 350th for offense faced), the Over slants in the Hoya raw averages can be put on tilt.
GU does hit the offensive boards, and it gets to the foul line with good frequency. Both sides launch plenty of 3s.
The lean here is toward the Over. But its a slight lean: consider a partial-unit play on the OVER 150.5 (-110).
