#13 Eastern Washington won the Big Sky but relies too much on two players. 6-8 Venky Jois (16.6 ppg, 7.7 rpg) will be overmatched up front, which means Georgetown can attack and double-team 6-4 sophomore Tyler Harvey (22.9 ppg). Eastern Washington stepped up only twice and lost to SMU and Washington, surrendering 77 and 81 points. Georgetown had a tougher schedule, losing to No. 2 Wisconsin by 3, beating No. 15 Florida on a neutral court, lost to No. 10 Kansas by 5 and beat Indiana on a neutral court. The Hoyas come off a loss to Xavier but are 6-2 ATS following a defeat. Georgetown plays great defense, has a veteran group and a big frontcourt edge with mammoth 6-10 senior Joshua Smith (350-pounds) and 6-9 senior Joshua Smith. The Hoyas are 7-3-1 ATS in their last 11 non-conference games, too. Play Georgetown.
