Georgetown Hoyas vs. Seton Hall Pirates Prediction
The Hoyas lost by two in overtime when they hosted the Pirates earlier this month and now have to face them on the road where they are 2-6 versus conference teams. Seton Hall has two loses on the books in Big East play losing to VIllanova and Butler. In their last five as as host they're 3-2, but 2-3 against the spread with the largest margin being by 7 points. They'll mostly likely be without F Ismael Sanogo who doesn't put up a lot of points but is counted on to play solid defense off of the bench and played 19 minutes in the earlier game vs. the Hoyas. I'll side with the road team and the points here in what should be a close game.
Free Pick:
Take the Georgetown Hoyas +5.5
