5*
(NCAAB) Monmouth vs. Georgetown,
Point Spread: 8.50 | -107.00 Monmouth (Away)
Result: Win
I'm taking the points with Monmouth on Tuesday night, as they've played a tough schedule so far having already played UCLA, USC (twice), Dayton, and Notre Dame. And the thing is, Monmouth went 3-2 in those five games, including wins over UCLA, USC (split), and Notre Dame. The Hawks' two losses came by three points to Dayton and by 11 to USC. However, it should be noted that in the 101-90 loss to the Trojans, the Hawks led midway through the second half and trailed by only two points with just over three minutes to go in the game. Monmouth uses a 5 guard rotation and I like them in the underdog spot here. The MAAC entry is on a 4-0 ATS non-conference run and they're 8-3 ATS in their last 11 road games. Meanwhile, the Hoyas are 7-19-1 ATS in their last 27 off a SU win. I'm grabbing the points with Monmouth+ the generous pts.
