Let's get some thoughts on this game, Hoyas are in a slump and playing like dogshit since Joshua Smith is out of the rotation, he was recently kick off the team(fukking loser couldn't keep up with his academics).

Hoyas missing some key pieces, all projected starters
Georgetown won eight of last ten games with Villanova, winning three in row played here by 2-13-21 points. Villanova's last win here was 2007, but Wildcats are 3-1 as Big East road favorites, winning by 3-16-7-9 on foreign soil. Hoyas are 1-5 without Josh Smith; they've lost last four in a row, all by 8+ points. Big East home underdogs are 4-8 vs spread, 4-3 if htey get 4 or less points.
Nova is good at getting to the foul line and Gtown gives up the 10th most free throws per field goal attempt in the country. On the other side of the ball Villanova gives up most their points via the 3 pointer, but Gtown isn't much of a 3 pointer team.
So the bottom line is this: Can Gtown stop fouling and ultimately limit the foul trips for Nova to the line? And can they make 3 pointers?
For me it's leaning towards No and No. If there's a play for me it is Villanova, but I would wait as the -5.5 line seems like it coming down to -5 here shortly on 5dimes.
