    Georgetown -4.5
    Why is it so low? Davidson hasn't seen a defense such as Georgetown in their lifetime. Due to Hibbet's towering size they will be forced to shoot plenty of 3's which coach Thompson will have his defense adjusted to defend. This is not the Hillbilly conference that Davidson plays. They are playing a last year's final four team and the 4.5 points will be covered early and quite easily.

    because Davidson is in North Carolina and so is the game. They would not have beat Gonzaga on a neutral floor. I think this game should be a pick

      You are insane thinking that this game is a pk. I guess final four experience is not important to you. There is a significant talent disparity here that can't be offset by a bogus home field advantage.

            I think GT covers, but dont underestimate Davidson. They can come to play. If Curry is on, they are a hard team to beat. They played NC and Duke very tough earlier this year. They got my respect even though they play in a weak conference. But if GT gets in Curry's face and makes him shoot difficult shots, they will cover.

              Sapp, Wallace and Freeman no good? Wow. I strongly disagree with that assessment.

                  I can't seem to get a good read on this game really. The result depends on whether Davidson is hitting from the perimeter. GT kept UMBC in the game for most of it while shooting only 32% from the field. Meanwhile, Davidson (much like UMBC) will have no real interior defensive solution against Hibbert. The problem is whether or not they turn the ball over before the entrance pass. It's a no play for me but I'm considering the under.

                    Unless you categorize Jeff Green as a guard (he's more of a SF), it's the same backcourt that got the Hoyas to the Final Four last season, with the addition of Freeman, who will be an all-conference player next season and is already quite good as a frosh. Their backcourt was also good enough to win outright what is, at worst, the second best conference in the country, as well as reach the final in the conf. tourney. I don't know what else you want.

                      Regardless of the outcome of the game this afternoon, this game should not be a pick game. That is a foolish statement.

                            Davidson may very well win this game. What I am saying is that bookmakers would be a fool to make this a pick game as rm18 stated he thought it should be.

                            If I could get GT at a pick here, I think that would be a tremendous value and would pound it.

                                  Davidson should be favored by 1.5 against Wisconsin, i mean they won't just saying the correct line.

                                        Congrats if you had Davidson and the points and hats off if you had the ballsack to take Davidson ML

                                        Davidson's matches up much better with Wisky than they do with GT. I say the line opens at 3.
