Syracuse at Georgetown (-1.5)
Both of these teams are coming off of disappointing losses and the Hoyas welcome the Orange after losing to them in the Carrier Dome earlier this season.
The key to the Hoyas’ success so far this season has been Chris Wright. In four of the last five games that Wright has not scored in double figures, Georgetown has lost.
Although Syracuse limited Wright to just seven points in their last meeting, he should be able to find better open shots against the Syracuse zone at home.
Take the Hoyas for 3 Units.
Pittsburgh at Marquette (-6.5)
This is a big game for the Golden Eagles as it will be the last regular season game against a ranked opponent.
Although Marquette tends to shoot well at home, especially from 3-point range the Eagles will struggle to pull away in this one because of their weak perimeter defense and height disadvantage.
The Panthers should be able to stay in this one with second-chance points and a solid game from Ashton Gibbs.
Take Pitt for 2 Units.
Wisconsin at Minnesota 125
If there’s one thing Wisconsin excels at it is limiting their opponents’ fast break points.
Even though Minnesota loves to get out and run to use their depth to an advantage, the Badgers always take good shots and limit their turnovers.
Take the under for 3 Units.
