The Georgetown Hoyas will travel to Washington D.C. on Saturday to play a Big East Conference game against the Providence Friars. The Hoyas will look for their second straight road win on Saturday following their upset win at Villanova on Monday night. These two teams will meet for the first time on Saturday with a return game to Providence in mid-February. The spread suggests it will come down to the wire at just 1.5 points, but our best bet of the game is the under.

The under is the play of the game because Providence will look to slow the tempo down and neither teams’ offense has been impressive this season. According to Team Rankings, Georgetown’s offense is ranked #186 nationally in points per game while Providence is ranked even worse at #200. The Friars like to slow the game down which results in them scoring at a lower rate than the rest of the Big East. According to KenPom, Providence is ranked #263 in adjusted tempo and #261 in average offensive possession length. Both teams rank outside the top 100 in three-point percentage and two-point percentage, so we do not expect a good offensive game in this one. The total has gone under in 73.7 percentage of Georgetown’s games this season and we see that trend continuing. Take the under.
