Early look at Saturday's games

[NovaBall]

Villanova is a 27.5-point favorite over St. John's. That's absurd for a conference game.

There was an bread about it. Not sure what happened to it.

Anyway, nova won by 15 at St. John's without playing well and putting in the walk-ons. Could win by 30 if they want at home, but I doubt jay keeps his foot in the gas all game.

Not sure who to root for between Georgetown and Providence. I think Georgetown is done and i'd hate to see PC slide into the bubble so id probably root for them. Butler winning would be huge for them to secure a bid.

Jay wrights largest margin of victories in big east games:

1. 38 over West Virginia (2005)
2. 37 over St. John's (2015)
3. 33 over Rutgers (2005)

For today's slate I'll guess all the roadies win.

Prov and Butler are circling the drain...Marquette is in line behind them. The Johnnies - God Bless'em, have to win 1...don't they? If so, it might as well be good ol' 'Nova.



Unfortunately it seems that Prov n Cooley will not be ranked, nor top 50 rpi by the time our return visit occurs on Mar 2nd. They have G'twn, X, SH, and Dep prior...finishing with the Johnnies.

I'm officially on record and say that JT3 needs to go. Want to see how you squander 4/5 star recruits? Watch Georgetown.
