Seton Hall really needs a win to have a key win to help their NCAA tournament chances.* They’re 12-2 at home only losing to Louisville and Notre Dame and with Depaul and Rutgers to close out the regular season they could get to 21 wins with a *victory tonight.* It’s a tough task especially against Georgetown’s defense that’s 9th in the country, but they have done most of that damage at home 35.5% compared to the road 41.8%.

Don’t sleep on Seton Hall either they allow just 39.4% at home and are #2 in the Big East in 3 point defense.* They have beaten VCU, CT, West Virginia , St Johns and Pitt at home and this game will be by far the most impressive.* It’s possible with Georgetown recently losing at Pittsburgh, who has been down this year.* The key in my mind is how effective SR PG Jordan Theodore can be tonight.* He knows his time is running out as a Sr and I think he has something special in this one as he tries to get to the NCAA tourney for the first time in his career.

Miss State +9 (4.4* POD); Miss St +373 (1* play if Sidney plays!)
I love Miss State tonight especially if Renardo Sidney (back spasms plays).* Miss State again has the ingredients with a presence in the paint and outside and they’ll need this one if they want to improve their chances for the NCAA tournament which have slipped with three straight losses.* It was obvious they were looking ahead to this game as they lost at Auburn over the weekend.

I love Arnett Moultrie’s chance at getting Anthony Davis in some foul trouble here and that could be a significant edge considering Kentucky is not one of the deepest teams in the conference.* Miss State also has the outside shooters between Sr. Dee Bost, Rodney Hood and Jalen Steele who combined attempts 15.3 three pointers per game.* If you are going to beat Kentucky you have to knock these down and play defense.* Again this is too many points and I see Miss State staying in this game late.* I give them a chance to win if they have Renardo Sidney playing and I expect him to play despite being questionable as Miss State needs this game..
