Georgetown +4.5 4.4* NCAAB POD GAME OF THE WEEK Georgetown and Marquette are in similar situations here on Thursday night being 16-11 overall and chasing after an NCAA Tourney bid and seeding for their conference tournament. This game is bigger for Georgetown who already lost at home to Marquette in OT. I really do not see much of a difference between these two teams and I expect Georgetown to be in this game and have a chance to win.
Not only has Georgetown statistically played better in conference play specifically on the defensive end, but they are more balanced as well. They have identical shooting %'s but they can knock down the 3 ball at a higher % than Marquette who averages 30% on the season, but was able to shoot over 41% in the first match up. Georgetown is the better team in my opinion and with Marquette getting Villanova next I'm guessing Georgetown will get the win. Georgetown defends at a rate of 42.5% compared with Marquette's 45.1% and Marquette is allowing 51.6% over their last 5 games combined. Marquette is also 4-13-1 ATS in their last 18 conference games and I think they are getting too much credit because of Georgetown's struggles on the road.
Nets -130 4.5* NBA POD Even though the Nets lost last night by 44 points I expect them to bounce back with a win in Denver. This is a tough situation, but I believe they are capable with the veteran leadership they have on their team. The Nets lost by 24 points at home to Denver earlier season so not only are they going to be looking to erase last night's embarrassment, but they will look to revenge a 24 points loss from earlier in the year to Denver and those two ingredients usually spell $$ in the NBA as the Nets players will be at their highest point of motivation in Denver.
