Marquette at Georgetown

A pair of over-achieving teams will do battle as Marquette heads to the Nation's Capital to take on Georgetown. The Golden Eagles hold down a first place tie with Syracuse atop the Big East standings. The Golden Eagles have just five losses on the season and three of those have come by a scant 2 points or less. Meaning, they have won or been in just about every game they have played so far this season. They have also played three of their last ten games in overtime, which have driven up their scoring averages on both sides of the ball. The Hoyas success is measured on the defensive end of the court, holding 14 opponents to less than 60 points on the season, including seven at 50 or less. One of those seven was Marquette, who they played to a defensive struggle, totalling less than 100 points between the clubs. This is a showcase Big Monday game and the Hoyas have certainly showcased their defense as they are 22-8 to the UNDER on Monday, when the nation is looking in. The Golden Eagles have been one of the best on the road vs. a team with a home winning percentage greater than .600 where they are at 45-20-1 ATS in their last 66. Play this one on Marquette and the UNDER.
