Villanova Wildcats at Georgetown Hoyas 2/20/19 College Basketball Pick
Villanova has been playing decent on the season. The problem is the Wildcats are also not as invincible as what they would like for everyone to think they are on the season. However, facing the Hoyas the Wildcats could look like they are going to be a good team and have the final four potential they had last year. The difference is the Hoyas are not that great of a team and even with the great play of the Hoyas the talent gap is going to show up in this game.

The Wildcats are reeling after getting upset by Saint John’s, but that will also give the Wildcats the proper motivation to play strong in this game here. The Wildcats offense will get back on track in this game as the Hoyas do not have a defense to write about here and that will allow the Wildcats offense to get back on track and bring home a much needed win in this game while Villanova covers the spread in the game 81-72.
