T.M. Selection: Georgetown.

I like Georgetown to cover the spread against Villanova in this game on Saturday. Georgetown has lost 15 games in a row and they don't have a single win in conference play this year but it is highly unlikely that will stay like that until the end of the year, statistically speaking. They only have 5 games left and not much opportunity to get a win but I think they will be more motivated than ever to play their tails off here and try to get that 1st win in conference play. They haven't looked terrible in their games lately either, they have lost 4 games in a row by 10+ points but none of those losses were by more than 14 points. I think they are going to play hard here and I expect them to keep this game close at least even if they still lose. The last time they played Villanova they were leading for most of the 1st half but collapsed in the 2nd half and ended up losing by 11 points. Villanova hasn't been playing their best lately anyway. Villanova has won 4 games in a row but their 3 most recent games have all been wins by less than 10 points. Even at home their previous 3 wins were not by more than 11 points in any of them. I think Georgetown is going to play desperate in this game and with how Villanova has looked lately, Georgetown should be able to keep this game close at least even if they don't win it. I like Georgetown to cover the spread here.

T.M. Prediction: 77-67 Villanova.
