Been waiting for this one for a couple weeks.
Take Gtown -3 tomorrow.
Last time these two teams met at Marq the Hoyas lost the game, but actually scored 5 more baskets than Marq. Marq got to the line in that game 38 times. That was the difference in the game. I think Gtown will clamp down the the D in this one and Marq is not going to have the opportunity to make 30 FTs in this game.
Gtown switched the starting line up 2 games ago, sliding Jesse Sapp to the bench and are now starting a 6-8 SF Soph Nikita. Nikita isn't that great, but he adds size out there and has helped on rebounding and defending with his length. He also feeds Monroe in the post more than any other player on the team. Monroe should have a big game tomorrow. He scored 13 on 5-7 shooting last game, and played his worst game of the season. Marq doesn't have the size inside to guard him.
Moving Sapp to the bench has also opened up the floor for Chris Wright to run the offense. Since Sapp has moved to the bench, Wright has played his best basketball.
Bottom line here is Georgetown has been playing better, Marq can't defend, and Marq has not played well on the road.
BOL
