Tonight’s Action

Georgetown vs. Seton Hall

Watch: 6 p.m. ET, FS1

Odds: Seton Hall -3.5 || O/U 141

Pick: Are you really not betting on the Hoyas? They shouldn’t even be in the Big East Semifinals, and their coach and Knicks legend Patrick Ewing apparently shouldn’t be in the Garden. Seton Hall also played last night and had to win in overtime. Grab the points and root for the program with several chips on its shoulder. This could be 28-26 at the half, so take the under, too.

Shoutout: Yesterday, we asked subscribers to predict the winner, score, and leading scorer of North Carolina-Virginia Tech.

The Tar Heels won 81-73, with the Hokies’ Justyn Mutts dropping in a game-high 24.

Sports Section had a split-decision. We hit the Tar Heels laying 3.5, but a late offensive surge made us miss the under 141.

Subscriber Tim Maher (@glenayrfarm) goes back-to-back with another stellar pick, predicting a 70-59 North Carolina victory. Nobody had Mutts leading the scorers. 

Keep the picks coming, everyone! See you Monday.
