The Georgetown Hoyas have been the Big East doormats in recent years but they made some progress this season, they actually one a conference game, ending a long multi-year drought. They beat DePaul 81-76 back on January 24 but have since lost 3 straight to fall to 6-18 overall and 1-12 in the Big East. But they covered in all three of those losses.
