NCAAB: Georgetown Hoyas at St Johns Red Storm
Under 123 -110

Game Date: 3/10/2009
Note: With this tournament being played at Madison Square Garden, this is, in effect sort of a Home Game for the Red Storm. That is good for our cause with St Johns playing much better D here in the Big Apple. So good, that they have a 12-6 overall record, but more importantly, 9-3 UNDER the mark. They are a curious team and have shown spurts of goodness throughout the year. They did give the Hoyas all they wanted about a week ago in a 59-55 Overtime Win, a game that featured just 102 Regulation Time Points. That contest was the fifth time in a row that a Georgetown/St John game ended below the posted total that Vegas put out. I can't expect anything other than that type of activity going on today again with this being Tournament Time, and a Georgetown Squad in town that features a pace rating of 281 in this land. Both Squads play very good defense with the #18 and #74 rated D squads out of 341 Division 1A Schools. Recent Play shows that the Hoyas have not scored into the 60's their last 4 times on a court. The Johnnies have not done the same their last 3 of 4 times on a court. Shot Totals for Hoya Contests have been very low as well, often not getting even close to the 100 mark. With 2 Schools who would rather play halfcourt style of play, the venue we are at, and this being the Big East Tournament, this play qualifies for No-Brainer. That works out well for me since I like to save my brain for other activities. I would play this one down to 118
