The Georgetown Hoyas leave the friendly confines of the Big East to travel to the Midwest to take on the Texas Tech Red Raiders. The Hoyas are off to a good start at 4-3, but don't let their record fool you. The Hoyas have many question marks. The Hoyas lost handily to Northwestern and Loyola Marymount. Even in their wins, the Hoyas have hardly looked impressive. Texas Tech already has two losses on their ledger, losing to Creighton and Ohio State. Texas Tech did beat the brakes off Louisville by 30. Which Red Raiders team are we getting in this one?

Georgetown Hoyas vs. Texas Tech Red Raiders: Prediction
The Hoyas' program is in complete disarray. The Hoyas are a shell of their former selves. The Texas Tech program has had several better iterations in recent years, but we know they will lock down the opposition on the defensive end of the court. The Red Raider faithful will be ready for this one, and the Hoyas have shown us nothing to believe that they will be able to match the overall firepower of Texas Tech. Take the Red Raiders and give the points.
Final Prediction: Texas Tech -17.5 (-105)
