It's autofade time against Georgetown with this low of a point spread in a Big East matchup. The Hoyas are 0-15 in the Big East. They have lost their last 16 games with all but one of those defeats occurring by seven or more points.

Among the Hoyas' conference losses is an 82-74 road setback to DePaul from two weeks ago.

DePaul has gotten better with the return of its leading scorer, guard Javon Freeman-Liberty, who is averaging 20.6 points a game.

The Blue Demons have covered five of their last seven games. They have proven extremely tough during their last three road games losing by four points to Seton Hall as an 8 1/2-point 'dog, falling to Providence in overtime by three points as a nine-point 'dog and upsetting Xavier as a 14-point 'dog.

DePaul is enough of a below-the-radar team to make this an attractive short lay price.
