Georgetown/Providence matchup

[mickey]

There are two stats that you need to know before placing your wager,although Georgetown does not score a lot of points, their offense lends itself to easy baskets. Because of that ,they have one of they have the third highest shooting percentage of any team in the country, at almost 51 percent on the season.
Providence on the other hand, plays some of the most awful defense found anywhere. They allow 78 points per game, which ranks them a truly abysmal 332nd in college basketball. Their defensive field goal percentage is pretty bad too, ranked 285th.
So it’s simple math really. Georgetown makes more of its shots than virtually any team in college basketball, and Providence allows its opponents to score about as easily as anyone in the game. Is there any reason to think that Georgetown won’t cover the betting odds?
I don’t think so. While Georgetown is going on the road for the first time in weeks, they just present a tough matchup for a fast paced, but very poor defensive Providence team.
