Georgetown Hoyas vs Marquette Golden Eagles Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 12/17/25

Georgetown enters this Big East matchup showing clear improvement on both ends of the floor this season. The Hoyas are averaging 74.8 points per game while shooting 45.2% from the field and committing just under 13 turnovers per contest, allowing them to play with more control offensively. Defensively, Georgetown has taken a step forward as well, holding opponents to roughly 68.5 points per game by forcing tougher looks and limiting transition opportunities. Deion Williams has been a steady presence, leading the team at about 16.4 points per game with an effective midrange game, while Kamal Bey provides physicality inside, contributing around 9.1 points and 7.4 rebounds per night. That interior presence helps Georgetown slow tempo and stay competitive against faster-paced opponents.

Marquette counters with one of the more explosive offenses in the conference, averaging 80.2 points per game and shooting nearly 38% from three. The Golden Eagles thrive in transition and can create scoring runs quickly when their perimeter shots are falling, but defensive consistency has been an issue, as they allow around 73 points per game and can be vulnerable on the glass. That defensive volatility has made them susceptible to underdog covers, particularly against teams that can control pace and force extended half-court possessions. Georgetown’s improved structure, rebounding ability, and willingness to grind possessions give them a strong chance to stay within the number. If Marquette’s shooting cools even briefly, the Hoyas have enough balance and discipline to capitalize.
