University of North Texas at Georgetown NCAAB Prediction

The Mean Green didn’t get embarrassed by a good Oklahoma team on the road falling by 10 and play well enough on the boards to keep this close. Georgetown’s only loss came in OT, but they’ve played an easy schedule and have been burning their backers money all season long with a 1-5 against the spread mark in their lined games.
