Georgetown knows how to play defense. Just ask run-and-gun #4 Villanova, a team the Hoyas just shut down, 78-58 Monday night. Villanova shot 34% for the game and had just 20 first half points. The teams combined to commit 50 fouls, with multiple bodies crashing onto the floor on multiple occasions. The Wildcats went more than seven minutes without a point as the Hoyas built a 30-11 lead. Georgetown is 7-3-1 UNDER the total against the Big East. They face a struggling Marquette offense that is 190th in the nation in points scored, losing the last two games scoring 57 and 58 points. The offense has tallied 59, 53, 58 and 57 the last four! Marquette is on a 4-0 run UNDER the total. Georgetown won the first meeting between the teams earlier this month, posting a 65-59 win and the value here is with a slow, low scoring first half. Play Georgetown/Marquette First Half UNDER the total.
