    Georgetown/Providence matchup
    There are two stats that you need to know before placing your wager,although Georgetown does not score a lot of points, their offense lends itself to easy baskets. Because of that ,they have one of they have the third highest shooting percentage of any team in the country, at almost 51 percent on the season.
    Providence on the other hand, plays some of the most awful defense found anywhere. They allow 78 points per game, which ranks them a truly abysmal 332nd in college basketball. Their defensive field goal percentage is pretty bad too, ranked 285th.
    So it’s simple math really. Georgetown makes more of its shots than virtually any team in college basketball, and Providence allows its opponents to score about as easily as anyone in the game. Is there any reason to think that Georgetown won’t cover the betting odds?
    I don’t think so. While Georgetown is going on the road for the first time in weeks, they just present a tough matchup for a fast paced, but very poor defensive Providence team.

        I don't like the direction the line's gone in today, but I think the sharps are overanalyzing this one.

          everyone has their opinions on line movements,as for me i don't let it interfer with my gut feeling/choice on whom will win the game.The only thing that matters to me is if the line moves up considerably against me.. Line movements is so the money isn't falling heavily on one particular team.. The money must be distributed about evenly as possible,IMO.. I also believe in trap plays as much as i believe in LEPRICONS...

              Georgetown is always a let down the next time they come out after a big game. They should walk this team, but they're inconsistent as hell.

                  First post ever and I live right outside providence. Even if PC is down by 20 they dont stop fouling in the second half and they hit shots and stretch the game out, the over 158 looks easy here.
