Georgetown is coming into this game playing very poorly in their recent games. They are the last place team in the Big East and they have lost 15 straight games coming into this one. They have been awful against conference opponents with a 0-14 record this season and they are even winless on the road as well at 0-8. They are going up against a ranked Villanova team that has won 4 straight and are sitting in 2nd place of the Big East. They have been a solid 13-3 against conference opponents this season and they have been an even better 10-1 at home. Georgetown came out very strong in their last meeting as they led for most of the 1st half but they eventually faded away in that game and lost at home by 11 points. Now they are on the road and they have shown no signs of improvement and the season is almost over. Villanova will win this game at home by double digits and blow Georgetown away here.
