Georgetown +5½ over BUTLER
Butler has dropped six of its last nine games. The Bulldogs three wins over that span occurred against DePaul twice and St. John’s once. The Bulldogs last good win was against Purdue on December 19th. All of the Bulldogs good victories this year have been close and now they’re being asked to win by a margin. Butler has a 2-point victory over Cinci, an eight-point win over Tennessee, a five-point win over Temple and that aforementioned victory over Purdue was by just six points. Against all the other notable opponents (Miami, Providence (x2), Xavier, Creighton and Marquette), the Bulldogs have lost outright.
In their losses earlier in the year versus Maryland and Duke, the Hoyas lost by just two and four points respectively. We love teams that have been hanging around in losses. It reveals and shows toughness. Those difficult losses are a tweak away from being victories and the Hoyas have notable ones. They have already defeated Xavier, Marquette, Syracuse and Creighton. They are 6-3 in conference play and their biggest loss over their last seven games was by six points at UConn. The Hoyas have been showing up for just about all their true road games vs. big-name foes and hanging in there pretty much all the way. After knocking on the door at ‘Nova and UConn recently, G-Town may have found a place where they’ll get the answer they seek if they remain persistent for 40 minutes. Pick: G-Town +5½ -110 (Risking 2.2 units to win 2).
