Marquette opens -7.5 vs. Georgetown

[Pakuni]

Georgetown at Marquette (-7½), 8:30 p.m. (FS1):
These are two confusing outfits. I keep thinking Marquette has turned a corner, only to see it hit the skids. The Golden Eagles have lost three straight after taking six of seven. Georgetown, meanwhile, seems to keep rising up as soon as it has been left for dead. At 15-12, the Hoyas may have had their NCAA Tournament last rites read yet again. Markus Howard scored 42 points at Georgetown in Marquette's 84-80 win last month, and I'm not sure Patrick Ewing's guys have found a way to stop him.
The pick: Marquette

Honestly Gtown +7.5 is an easy smash.

Hijack.

Great call!

In your defense, you must have thought GT was playing DePaul.

Guy is just the epitome of negative. Whine and complain about how trash we are. How bad the program is. Whine non stop after every loss. Assume we are going to lose the rest of our games. Who cares if we beat seton hall get ranked and achieve. The team is mediocre. Wojo sucks. Boo him at games. Just complain no matter what

Insufferable twats.

Nice result. That 9-2 run to close the game sucked though, especially the buzzer beater three.

Wojo should have called a time out to maximize possessions

[PGsHeroes32]

What the hell.

Gtown hit a 3 at the buzzer??

I flipped it off when they were dribbling the clock out with 5 seconds left and shaking hands.

I have to say, it's not a bad NET strategy. Pretend like you've thrown the white flag and are going to dribble it out, defense starts walking towards the bench with 2 seconds left, nail an open shootaround 3 to help your computer numbers...plus the other team doesn't get the ball back.

New world order. I like NET in theory but I do miss seeing the walk ons get a few minutes.

[MU82]

I didn't like Wojo calling time at the end of the Creighton game, but otherwise had no problem with him trying to improve our NET.

Lol, really?  I watched til the end, and they didn't even show it.  They had already panned to Wojo and Ewing shaking hands.

Same. Had no idea until I read that and checked the stats. Then again, how much of a difference does 21 vs. 18 make?

[Ardmore Mug]

93-72  Final   so what did that last 3 matter, going from +24 to +21 win???   

Funny... I went to ESPN website   Final score showed 93-72...went to play by play... showed Symirs layup...   93-69... then 0:00   End of game...  Score in play by play still had  93-69.. Weird 

[lawdog77]

Georgetown moved up.1 spot.in the NET. Who knows?

Apparently the final 3 mattered...

Saw it live and was annoyed when it splashed in because I knew it would count. Capped a 9-2 run by Georgetown over the final 2 minutes. None of it mattered, except in that it did somewhat affect the metrics.
