The second-ranked Villanova Wildcats will look to close out their regular season by beating the struggling Georgetown Hoyas for the second time this season while gaining some pre-March Madness momentum. Now, let’s find out where the NCAA basketball point spreads value lies in this Big East battle.
Villanova won its fourth consecutive Big East regular season championship with the win as Eric Paschall scored a team-high 19 points and Player of the Year candidate Josh Hart added 16 points and seven rebounds. Kris Jenkins scored 15 and Mikal Bridges had 11 points and eight rebounds for the Wildcats. “We’re not done yet,” Jenkins said. “We have a lot more to accomplish.”
Georgetown has lost four straight and six of their last seven games and comes into this contest off a heartbreaking 62-59 road loss against Seton Hall on Tuesday night. L.J. Peak led the Hoyas with 15 points and senior guard Rodney Pryor was the only other Georgetown player in double figures with 11 points.
If the spread for this matchup tops a dozen points, I say play the Hoyas to narrowly cover as Villanova wins by ‘just’ 10 points.
