Triple Dime - Georgetown +1.5
3% Georgetown +1.5
It looks like a trap game for Georgetown but if you dig deeper, you will find that Georgetown is just as hungry as Villanova. Georgetown is playing for a Big East regular season championship. They win tonight, they clinch at least a share of the title. John Thompson III is a very good coach in my opinion and will have his team ready to go. Georgetown is one of the best defensive teams in the country, giving up 56.33 points per game (10th in the nation) and allowing opponents to shoot just 37.65% from the field (8th in the nation). I think they will really pose problems for a Villanova team that is not exactly an offensive juggernaut. They average a little over 68 points per game (153rd in the nation) and only shoot 41.49% as a team, which ranks them 264th in the nation. Therefore, you have a team who doesn't shoot the ball very well against a team that plays phenomenal defense. I think the best chance Nova has is to get hot from 3 point range in order to win this game because Georgetown has size and strength down low to negate Yarou in the paint. But again, Georgetown is only allowing teams to shoot 30% from 3 point land. Offensively, Georgetown can grind out games in the half court which could be key in this game. Georgetown doesn't score a lot of points but they don't take a lot of shots. They are very disciplined and take high percentage shots as they are shooting over 46% as a team (52nd in the nation). The other big factor that you have to take into account while evaluating this game is the fact that Otto Porter has been outstanding and can score in many different ways. I think this will be a tough, grind it out type of game and that definitely favors Georgetown. Villanova is almost dead last in turnovers committed and the Hoyas are pretty good at creating turnovers which will turn into more fast break opportunities and ultimaltely more possessions. I know it looks like a trap but the Hoyas have a lot to play for too. I'll grab the 1.5 and take my chances.
