Providence vs Georgetown College Basketball Betting Preview
Providence, the best team in the Big East (according to the standings), enters Sunday’s game off the back of a win at Carnesecca Arena against St John’s. They have won their last 14 of 15 games, including against Marquette, Xavier and Seton Hall. They have allowed just 64.8 points per game to opponents during this stretch, which is a key factor in their success. Al Durham, the transfer from Indiana, has made a big step for them and is probably one of their best players, averaging 13 points per game. He never touched that mark during his time as a Hoosier, with 3 of his 4 years there he averaged single digits. They’ve also had a steady production of Nate Watson, the big man in his final season. The Friars are an elite team and they should be able to prove it today.
Georgetown, on the other hand, led by Patrick Ewing, is coming off a 13-point loss to Red Storm. They haven’t won a Big East conference game all year so far, they’ve lost 9 straight and haven’t won a game since December. They rank 147th in the nation in points scored per game (72.7 points per game) and have trouble limiting turnovers, averaging 13 per game in that department. Aminu Mohammed has a bright future for the Hoyas, averaging 13.4 points per game and 7.9 rebounds per game in his freshman campaign. It’s not looking good for Georgetown, and I don’t see it getting any better anytime soon. Also, going 0-10 in conference play, the school could be looking for a new coach in 2022-23.

Prediction Providence vs Georgetown | College Basketball Betting Picks
Providence, led by Durham, should continue this winning streak which is now 6 games. Nothing the stats show me indicates that Georgetown can compete with the best team in the Big East. Ewing is on the bench unless they pull off a miracle in March, like they did last season, winning their conference tournament to enter the NCAA tournament. Providence should drop to 10-1 on the season after taking care of the Hoyas today. You can catch this game on Fs1 at 12pm ET.
