Mount Saint Mary's Mountaineers vs Georgetown Hoyas Prediction, Odds and Picks for Wednesday, 11/20/24

As Mount St. Mary’s makes the short trip to Georgetown, we are here with a Mountaineers vs Hoyas prediction for Wednesday. Both programs are off to a good start this season despite modest preseason expectations. Georgetown is expected to be improved, but still in the bottom half of the Big East standings. They are 2-1, with the loss coming to Notre Dame. The Mountaineers are 3-1, taking a 30-point loss to Maryland, but also gathering a win over a respectable Bucknell team. I’m not sure either of these teams has a consistent identity yet, so this game has a wide range of outcomes. But my Mount St. Mary’s vs Georgetown prediction is Georgetown -13.

I think 13 points is a sizeable number of points for a Georgetown team that is not really great, so there is some risk here. I do not doubt that Ed Cooley has things heading in a good direction, but this is still a team with a lot of flaws. One flaw so far is that they have yet to shoot well from outside the arc in any of their first 3 games. That happens sometimes, but when it happens in each of the first 3 games, it is starting to look like a trend. It is hard to beat an opponent badly without an effective 3-ball. As for the Mount, this is a team picked to finish in the middle of the pack in the Metro Athletic. They are operating under a new head coach, and they have very few returning players. They got rocked by a Maryland team expected to finish near the bottom of the B1G, and that has me thinking that the major conference teams are just going to have the Mountaineers outmatched. Also, Georgetown has a 12-point win already over fellow-MAAC team Fairfield, a team expected to be better than Mount St. Mary’s. Let’s roll with the home team from the major conference who should also have a talent advantage.

Mount St. Mary’s vs Georgetown prediction: Georgetown -13 (-110) available at time of publishing. Playable at that number.
