The Seton Hall Pirates are in the nation's capital to face the Georgetown Hoyas tonight. Both teams have a losing record in the conference this season.
Seton Hall has won two of their last three Big East games after a 0-3 start. Their most recent win put them over .500 for the season, as they are now 9-8 under new head coach Shaheen Halloway. However, the Pirates have lost their last three games on the road.
Someone has to occupy the basement, and unfortunately, Georgetown took that position early this season. The Hoyas have lost seven in a row and have opened up 0-6 in conference play. They sit last in the Big East. They've lost three straight at home, all by at least 13 points.
This game should be seen as a must-win for both sides. Let's see how they match up ahead of their game tonight.

Seton Hall vs. Georgetown Betting Prediction
Georgetown has kept one Big East game within single digits this season, and it came against DePaul, who has only beaten Georgetown in conference play this season. The Hoyas season has been a nightmare, and there haven't been any signs that they're going to wake up. Their defense will continue to bleed points and Seton Hall's defense will have another dominant night.
Prediction: Seton Hall -8.5 (-110)
