Marquette vs Georgetown prediction
It might be hard to believe for MU fans, but the Hoyas (29% on 3-pointers) are a worse shooting team than the Golden Eagles (30.8% on 3s). Where Georgetown has been elite has been taking care of the ball, with the second-best turnover percentage in the country at 12.5. MU really struggles in a halfcourt game, so this one looks like an old-fashioned rock fight.
