Against the spread
GEORGETOWN +11.5 (-105) won’t win, and likely won’t come close to doing so, but it will give Seton Hall all it can handle. It wouldn’t be surprising the see the scrappy Hoyas fight for another cover, keeping this one to a single-digit deficit.
Georgetown is on a 7-1 ATS run across the past 8 games, although it did fail to cover at home in the first meeting with Seton Hall. The road team has cashed in 5 straight meetings between these teams.
Over/Under
UNDER 137.5 (-105) is the lean in this rematch.
The Hoyas have cashed the Under in 4 of the past 5 games overall and in 5 straight against teams with a winning overall record.
The Under is an impressive 8-2 in the past 10 games overall for the Pirates while going 4-1 in their past 5 at home and 5-0 in their past 5 against teams with an overall losing mark.
