Georgetown Hoyas vs. Syracuse Orange Preview
In another Big East match up between a couple of ranked teams and also, perhaps, the biggest rivalry in the conference Syracuse (20-4) hosts Georgetown (18-5). NCAAB lines have Syracuse as 4.5-point favorites in this game with a total of 140.
In their last games both teams played on Saturday with Syracuse crushing South Florida 72-49 and Georgetown beating Providence 83-81.
The Hoyas have been a legit team to lay some green on this season going 13-9 ATS while the same cannot be said about the Orange at 9-13 ATS. Georgetown is 1-4 ATS in the last 5 games at Syracuse.
The Hoyas are hot, as they have won 6 straight and the winner of this match up will be all alone in 3rd place in the killer Big East. Killer is right, as there are 7 teams ranked in the top 25 in the conference including 3 ranked in the top 10.
The Hoyas have not beaten Orange in Syracuse since the 2002 season.
The Hoyas are led by their backcourt and the Orange are led by their frontcourt and the team that can play to their strength will win this game. Georgetown is led by the guard duo of Austin Freeman (18.7 ppg) and Chris Wright (12.8 ppg) while Syracuse is led by the forward duo of Kris Joseph (15 ppg) and Rick Jackson (13.5 ppg).
The key players in this game are Jackson and Freeman. Jackson is averaging 11.5 rpg and his 16 double-doubles on the season are among the most in the nation. His ability to rebound does not bode well for a Hoyas’ squad that only ranks 222nd in the nation in rebounds per game. To offset that Jackson will have to shoot well and this season he has hit on 45.7% of his 3-point bombs.
The difference in this game will be the play of Jackson, as he will have a big game underneath both scoring and especially rebounding. Syracuse will continue their home domination over Georgetown, as they will win, snap the Hoyas winning streak, and cover the 4.5-point spread.
Betting Trends
Georgetown is 9-3 ATS in their last 12 road games and Syracuse is 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games following an ATS win and 10-2 ATS in their last 12 home games against teams with a road winning percentage of greater than 60%
Pick: Syracuse -4.5
