Georgetown is coming off an epic collapse at home, losing 68-67 to Holy Cross as a 17.5-point favorite. The Hoyas are most likely looking at their second straight loss, heading to Rutgers in a Gavitt Games showdown. But the Scarlet Knights are not good enough offensively (296th in effective field goal percentage) to be laying this big of a number. New Hoyas coach Ed Cooley brought in an entirely new team, and he has several bigtime transfers capable of keeping this competitive.

Ed Cooley has a big rebuilding job to do at Georgetown. His club lost to Holy Cross 68-67 with a pace of 58. Cooley offense runs through a lot sets and will take the entire year for the players to figure it out. Cooley preaches defense which will be more effort for the Hoyas. Rutgers' Steve Pikiell has had three top 15 defenses in the past four years. Get on this total under now at 135.5 because it is going down.
