Great slot for Nova/Georgetown- lead in to the NFL.

Good day for games. Expecting really competitive contests.

KenPom lines...
- Butler by 19
- Nova by 7
- Xavier by 8
- Providence by 6

Georgetown can get themselves on the bubble with a win here...same with Marquette.

Georgetown yes- because a win and they're then projected 17-14 and 1 win away.
Marquette no- because they would still need 3 wins out of the stretch of Butler, Seton Hall, Xavier, PC, Creighton, DePaul, Creighton, Villanova, Georgetown, and Butler to just even get to 19-12(assuming they beat DePaul, St Johns, and Stetson next 3 games).

This Saturday is loaded with great games in addition to the NFL. Georgetown and Nova should draw well obv.

Nova returning to the scene of the crime...

Last 20 games Nova is undefeated in conference play. Impressive. But 21 games ago we got absolutely tuned up at G'town. Hoping we don't see a replay of that game. -7 at Gtown seems ridiculous. Don't think there's much of a chance of a Nova cover. Just hope we can just find a way. Think it's going to be a really tough spot for the Wildcats.
