Georgetown

The Hoyas have three conference losses but those were all in their first 5 games.  Since then they have rattled off 11 straight victories including 4 against ranked opponents.  Barring a collapse over the next couple of weeks they could be looking at a #1 seed.

Over the next month the nation is going to get a nice introduction to Otto Porter.

His game reminds me a lot of a young Grant Hill.  His game is smooth and he is efficient without relying on deep shooting.  He also makes a contribution defensively with a couple of steals and a block per game.

The Hoyas are not super deep but with seven regular contributors they have enough for a Madness run even if it might be harder in the Big East tournament with games on back to back days.

The 5th ranked team in the country on the road and all they have to do is win.  Looks like great value to me and I will take it every time.

Nothing is a lock and the Wildcats have already slayed some giants this season but all we can ask for is to have good value opportunities in front of us. [ad-6571516]

Jump on this one.

Villanova

Georgetown has exceeded expectations but so have Villanova.  They are above .500 in the league and their back to back wins against Syracuse and Villanova are as good a pair as anyone in the country.  Depending on who you ask they are either in our out at this point but I think it is a virtual lock if they beat Georgetown.

That would given them a total of 3 victories against teams ranked in the top 5.

The Wildcats operate with a pretty small margin for error.  They have become a tough team capable of big performances like the aforementioned wins but they also lost to Columbia of the Ivy League.

I really like the game of JayVaughan Pinkston but he is still unreliable as a first scoring option.

The key for Villanova is keeping the score down and hustling like crazy, when they do they have enough talent

Villanova should have the attention of the betting community as they are a sterling 17-9-1 ATS and if you had played them to win SU you would probably be sitting on a nice bankroll from that too.

They have been a really good underdog play but the line on this one is more like a pick’em and in this scenario against a team as good as Georgetown the value is on the other side.

Spread Pick:  Georgetown -1
O/U Pick:  Over
Score Prediction:  Georgetown 69 – Villanova 62
