Once upon a time, a matchup of Georgetown vs. Villanova was appointment viewing. A generation ago Big East basketball was football on the hardwood. No league offered a more intense and physical brand of basketball. However, these days Georgetown has lost its way with the college basketball odds. Coach Patrick Ewing is a Hoyas legend. He played in those old Big East Wars. This is his fourth season leading the program. He is still working for a breakthrough. Counter to that is a Villanova program that’s a national powerhouse. Since 2016 the Wildcats have two national titles.
