Georgetown vs. Louisiville CAPPING NOTES

ZBOIZ · 02-22-09, 10:36 PM

The only teams Georgetown is beating in conference is the lowly teams

ZBOIZ · 02-22-09, 10:37 PM

I also see Louisiville is fav. by 1 and I see the total at 132

ZBOIZ · 02-22-09, 10:38 PM

Both teams combined gives up a 121 points a game for this situation!

When I say situation I mean L'ville gives up 61 on the road and Georgetown gives up 60 at home

ZBOIZ · 02-22-09, 10:39 PM

As of now leaning Under 132

ZBOIZ · 02-22-09, 10:40 PM

Under is 7-1 in L'ville last 8 monday games
Under is 10-1 in G'town last 11 monday games

OVER 130 here, Louisville is starting to click again since T-Will had the tape/cast taken off his wrist. I know 130 seems big here, but Georgetown isn't the same team as last year. Louisville has been hot offensively lately and they are good for at least 70 more than likely. My only worry is that Louisville comes out and stifles G-Town defensively, but I doubt it will happen because G-Town is playing for their lives

I like the Desperate team in Georgetown here and I think they can match up well against Louisville. You see it year after year where a must win home team pulls of an upset like this against a highly rank team. Granted they didn't do it against Marquette, but the opportunities were their in that game. The same will happen here.

The only one who would be shock by a Hoyas win, will the folks who hasn't been around college b-ball long enough.

TPowell · 02-23-09, 01:03 AM

I would be shocked, if they couldnt beat Marquette than they won't beat Louisville. Louisville still has a lot to play for as well. They're in a dog fight for the Big East Title. Louisville already fell into a similar trap against ND and I think they will come to play tommorow night. With a healthy T-Will, Louisville could go a lot of places

My point is you see this kind of thing every year, where a bad team pulls an upset like this at home. Vegas doesn't make Georgetown a huge underdog for a reason. These Big East vegas odds maker know what they're doing and they're trying to maximize their profit by designing that line for the public to hammer it.

ZBOIZ · 02-23-09, 01:58 AM

The more I look into this more I like Louisville

Chi_archie · 02-23-09, 07:54 AM

hmmmmmm maybe a trap

TPowell · 02-23-09, 03:11 PM

I like Louisville here because they've already played this game last Monday. Exact same situation, but they were blown out by Notre Dame. The team wasn't prepared and didnt even ****ing land in Indiana until that day around lunch for some reason. Lessons were learned by everyone last Monday and I think Louisville gets the job done this time around

buztah · 02-23-09, 03:14 PM

who do the zebras like?

ZBOIZ · 02-23-09, 03:19 PM

I'm staying away from this!

I wiss stick to the NBA tonight and head to CBB tommorrow! My LSU tigers play Florida tommorrow here in Baton Rouge on Fat Tuesday I expect a blowout

I think other then looking at the intangibles of this game, better lessons would be learned about how Notre Dame exploited Louisville's defenses..... same thing with the UConn game...

both of those games have some similarities that Georgetown can use to their advantage.... look at the matchups and the strengths/weaknesses of the big men.

it just boggles my mind, that no one ever talks about who is gaurding who, or how player A reacts to help defense on the blocks...

I won't be giving out too much, as I may have wagers with people on this board with this game....

but if you watch Georgetown at all, you know that Monroe is a very very good passer (much like Harangody).... so you need to think about how this translates in this game...with Louisville's defenses and personell.....

Also...how does Louisville do against big men with shot blocking/altering ability?

when teams that run a patient set offense play against Georgetown they have way lower fg %'s against them, then more aggressive teams... why is that?

when Georgetown played Tenn earlier this year, they exposed vulnerabilities in Georgetown's defense that the Hoyas due to laziness, inexperience, confusion...what were they and when did they rectify this... how does this relate to tonight's game?

ok that's enough for now

You don't need to know anything about the sport or any of the players to win.

I agree, especially if you have a math degree...and are extremely disciplined.... most are not...

most here are just picking sides, and using stats that are irrelevant ect...

If you understand a sport very well.....and understand matchups you can have an edge in picking sides...

you see alot more of this concept around here in football (but on a very very very basic level).... but not in basketball...which is odd to me because basketball is so much easier to understand.

Louisville did a pretty good job at Syracuse dealing with shot blockers. Notre Dame didnt have a true post presence but Louisville still struggled. Monroe is good but he's no Thabeet or Blair. Monroe may be a good passer, but I don't see that being the death of Louisville. Louisville will pack it in and force G-Town to beat them from outside by playing that 2-3. Georgetown is a solid defensive club, but Louisville really has it going from outside lately.

Chi_archie · 02-23-09, 05:12 PM

when monroe is able to find the open man and rack up assists (georgetown also has to knock those shots down) they win..... when he throws the ball away, travels, offensive fouls they lose... go look at monroe's stat log, and see how Georgetown does when monroe has more assists then TOs

not the only factor, but i believe it is one that is big..

the ND factor is, that harangody is maybe the best low post passer in the Big East if not the nation... he found the soft spots in Louisville's d time and time again

Chi_archie · 02-23-09, 05:14 PM

ND's non low post presence.... sure got alot of rebounds if I recall... I think ND had almost twice as many in that last game

TPowell · 02-23-09, 05:16 PM

I doubt Monroe will have the ball a lot though archie. Surely, UL will lock down the post and let the G-Town guards try to win the game. Monroe is no Thabeet inside so Louisville will be able to score. Also, the pressure defense is something that Georgetown will have to handle. If nobody gets Monroe the ball, he can't win the game. Louisville just flat out didnt come to play against ND and it showed. I don't think you can gain much by looking hard at that game.

one reason would be that UL was ice cold and ND got a lot of defensive rebounds. Notre Dame was red hot and that didnt leave a lot of room for Louisville to rebound. Either way, it was an uninspired Louisville team that was dominated

top notch handicapping.

CaDDyy · 02-23-09, 05:25 PM

overthinking it louisville already won this motha****a

TPowell · 02-23-09, 06:29 PM

I forgot to add that Samuels owned Monroe twice last year when they went head to head. I know it was high school, but you have to take that into consideration IMO. Samuels is too big for Monroe to handle inside.

EDIT: Monroe, was the #1 player in the 2008 class for a long time before he faced off against Samuels. Monroe probably remembers being embarassed by him, but can he stop him this time?

Z...TPowell I hope you guys are right! No feel for this game...went with Louisville...-1 1/2

Capwizards · 02-23-09, 06:58 PM

I know that a bunch of you are on this under. I see that side as well. However, the play I really like is the OVER 61.5 in the 1H. There is a nice trend going on LVILLE 1H overs. I know that Gtown can get into some tight low scoring games, however LVILLES outside shooting should open it up fairly early. Looking for about 70 points in the 1H. Good luck on your plays tonight.

LVILLE vs GTOWN 1H OVER 61.5

Capwizards · 02-23-09, 07:13 PM

Solid start for LVILLE.....Need GTOWN to chip in a few.

sizzur · 02-23-09, 07:23 PM

lv was the play.
