Georgetown at DePaul

Georgetown is expected to finish at the top of the Big East, while DePaul is expected to finish at the bottom. The Hoyas are shooting as well as anyone in the country and defending as well as anyone in the country right as well right now. There is a sore spot for the Hoyas and that is their 59% shooting at the FT line. It costs them about 6-7 points per night, and that may come back to haunt them here. DePaul has played a schedule that is much tougher than it looked before the season started, and that has helped this team come together much quicker than expected. They have already played at 14-0 Kansas, lost in OT to 15-0 Vanderbilt, and lost by 6 on a neutral court vs 13-0 Mississippi, as well as dropping a decision to 12-2 Clemson. They have really come on beating a 12-2 Nova team soundly at home, as well as a notching a win vs Providence. They have now run off four in a row, and are playing with confidence. They have an opportunity at home to make some noise in the Big East, so Georgetown better be ready to take their best shot, and we think they hang tough here.
