Pick
I’m sticking with the Hoyas here. Seemingly out of nowhere, Georgetown’s been covering numbers left and right. I know a lot of those are as decent-sized dogs, but they’ve won a couple of games as well. St. John’s has left a lot to be desired in spots and I just think this is another tight matchup that Georgetown has a great shot at winning outright. Give me Georgetown and the free bucket.
