Why Consider Betting on Georgetown?
Why should you consider betting on Georgetown in this contest? Because the Hoyas are completely and utterly desperate! Georgetown is struggling right now, having lost three straight and seven of their last nine games overall. The Hoyas come into their regular season finale off a narrow 90-86 loss against Marquette on Monday night while blowing a six-point halftime lead and allowing Marquette’s Andrew Rousey to score 9 of his team’s dozen points in overtime. Georgetown got a team-high 25 points, to go along with nine rebounds and five assists from Jessie Govan, but gave up a whopping 18 three-pointers in the loss.Team Statistics

Why Consider Betting on Villanova?
Why should you consider betting on the Wildcats in this regular season finale? Because Villanova is loaded, mature and have the better head coach. The Wildcats improved to 3-1 over their last four games but struggled in their narrow 69-68 win over Seton Hall on Wednesday night as Mikal Bridges scored a team-high 23 points and Jalen Brunson made several big plays down the stretch to hold off the Pirates. The win helped fourth-ranked Villanova avoid consecutive losses for the first time since 2012013, but head coach Jay Wright didn’t sound overly excited about the win afterward although he did give his team some praise.
