Georgetown vs Marquette Final NCAAB Betting Analysis:

This is an important Big East battle that could determine the fates of both teams. Georgetown cannot lose, which means they’ll take more chances in this game to get the victory. That could backfire on the Hoyas.

Marquette had beaten Xavier, Depaul, and Butler. They lost by a single point, 71-72, to Villanova. The loss to Nova sent the Golden Eagles reeling. Creighton and Providence both beat Marquette.

But the Golden Eagles face a team they beat 84-80 on Jan. 18. Don’t expect this game to be close like that one. The Hoyas allow 35.4% from three. On Wednesday, they face one of the top three-point shooting teams in the nation. Markus Howard should dominate. The Golden Eagles win and cover.
