4.4* NCAAB POD Guaranteed Big East - Georgetown vs Nova

[Pick Bot]

Georgetown +4 4.4* NCAAB POD
I think the Hoyas have the ingredients to pull off the upset as they are very good in 2 point defense and 2 point offense. They are the more physical team and better rebounding team and playing at home. Also worth noting is the fact that Georgetown has played the 25th toughest schedule while Nova is at 63rd. Both teams are top 60 in adjusted offense and defense, but really sticks out in this one is Georgetown's 12th ranked block % and 47th ranked 2 point % defense. Their ability to defend in the paint is critical here and the fact that the majority of their shots will come from here it's key that Villanova, a team getting a ton of hype right now has the 110th ranked 2 point defense. Georgetown will take 71%+ of their shots from 2 and Nova allows 45.6% and even worst at 49.7% on the road. 12 of their opponents have not even been top 150 in 2 point offense so it's not like they've faced quality teams along the way. The teams that have been good at scoring inside the arch have regularly put up 70+ points but don't have the defense and rebounding ability that Georgetown has. Georgetown is 9-0 when they score 71+ points this season which I think they get to tonight.
