This is a premium play that I just added for tonight and I thought I'd pass it along for free.
Big East Tournament Championship Game
Georgetown vs. West Virginia - 9:00 p.m. ET on ESPN
Kentucky was my #1 play today. The only other strong lean that my gut kept telling me to play was West Virginia. I've been looking at this game over and over again all afternoon, and I just have to pull the trigger here.
Georgetown comes into this one having routed South Florida by 20, then upset Syracuse, and blew out Marquette by 23 in their last game yesterday. On the flip side, WVU comes into this one off a three-point win over Cincinnati and a two-point win over Notre Dame in their last game yesterday.
So G'town has upset Syracuse and had two blowout wins in this Big East Tournament, while WVU has narrowly escaped with two straight skin-of-their-teeth wins. Based on that info, the public has backed G'town to the tune of 64% of more than 17,000 reported bets. Yet the line has gone from WVU -1.5 to -2.5. It's pretty clear where the wiseguys put their money.
These two met in Morgantown on the first of this month, with WVU scoring a 13-point win despite getting outshot by the Hoyas 49% to 43%. The Mountaineers were +12 in turnovers in that one, and my research shows that WVU should once again win the turnover battle. WVU ranks 60th in offensive turnover percentage and 123rd in defensive turnover percentage. The Hoyas rank 206th in offensive turnover percentage and 226th in defensive turnover percentage.
Watch De'Sean Butler. He has scored 49 points combined in the last two meetings against the Hoyas.
G'town has shot over 50% in each of their last two games and I don't expect them to be able to do that again tonight.
G'town should also be the more fatigued team in this matchup. The Hoyas have played three days in a row, while the Mountaineers have only played two days in a row. And WVU's games have been played at a much slower pace than the Hoyas' games.
Bottom line: This just looks too easy. G'town has upset Syracuse & hammered two other foes in this tourney. WVU has squeaked by two straight foes, yet you can get points with the Hoyas. Like I said, it's clear where the "smart money" went and I'll gladly follow. Lay the small number with West Virginia.
