NCAAB Picks Review: Georgetown Hoyas at Louisville Cardinals
Another fine pick from the Louisville Cardinals.
The Georgetown Hoyas visit the Louisville Cardinals in a college basketball betting matchup that should provide excitement and have tournament implications.
A recent string of strong play has put the Cardinals in the hunt for a tournament invite just as a recent string of poor play has put the Hoyas in danger of missing the tournament.
The Hoyas are a young team that lives off of the transition game and strong defense, but they can be very inconsistent losing to teams they should beat handily.
The Cardinals struggled at the start of the season dropping a number of games early in the season before picking their game up of late. They are all about offense averaging 78.3 points per game, but they give up a ton of buckets too.
The Cardinals are 4-point college basketball betting favorites at betED and the total is
141.5.
Lester likes Louisville because Georgetown is going to struggle to get buckets against a well-coached team that can take away their easy fast break points like Louisville.
Bang the Book: Cardinals
Andrew likes Louisville because home court advantage has been huge in the Big East, they’re playing well right now, and they need the win more than does Georgetown.
Mitch likes Louisville because they’ve figured out how to compensate for the shortcomings in their game and because Georgetown’s defense has been slipping a little.
The dissenter in the group is Sports Untapped’s David Glisan. He likes the Hoyas because, no matter how you spin it, the Cardinals have a horrible ATS record and he thinks the Hoyas have become undervalued by the sports-betting public.
