The Howard Bison haven’t played in 11 days, so I’m worried about some sluggish play here or potential rust, but they’ve been highly impressive offensively and put up 81 points on Villanova. The Georgetown Hoyas have been hit or miss all season long and aren’t a team I’m thrilled to back in the big favorite role. Howard has the horses to hang here. Give me the points.
