An old school Big East showdown Tuesday night in Washington, DC when Georgetown (16-13, 7-11) and Villanova (18-12, 11-8) take the court. The hometown Hoyas will be looking to derail the NCAA Tournament hopes of the Wildcats.
Nova has won their last three to get back in the postseason conversation. Georgetown is far more competitive than last season but still has been able to muster only seven conference wins this season. A win over Villanova would be one of the best in the Ed Cooley Era at Georgetown.
Georgetown is 13-5 at home and Villanova is 3-7 on the road this season.

Expert picks & predictions for Villanova at Georgetown
NBC Sports Bet Best Bet
Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) got the Wildcats at a good number: Villanova -3.5 (-110)
“Villanova has wins over St. John’s, Marquette, and UConn in the conference and Eric Dixon is a stud. This is a veteran team that has five seniors starting and is the 17th-most experienced team in the country, but all of that gets a little murkier if they get swept by Georgetown. The Hoyas won by one point in the first meeting at Nova and NEVER led by more than two points in that game, yet they won. You don’t let something like that happen again. I like Villanova to win the game and cover the -3.5.”
