Patrick Ewing has the Hoyas playing like they used to. Georgetown has won eight of its last 10. The Hoyas are also 11-3 ATS in their last 14 games. Georgetown has been a covering machine. Colorado is 6-8 ATS in its last 14 games. I like the momentum the Hoyas have coming into this matchup, off a Big East championship.

Georgetown had one way to get into the NCAA Tournament, and the Hoyas took it. They won all four games in the Big East to get the automatic bid, and they did most of the damage by clamping down with their defensive pressure. The title game was a 73-48 win against a great shooting team in Creighton, which shot only 17-of-59 from the field. The defense started to turn for the better about 10 games ago (8-2 ATS). The Buffs are not the same club away from Boulder. Georgetown carries the momentum. I took the points.
