Georgetown at Louisville

Heavyweight battle tonight in the Big East as the upstart Georgetown Hoyas take on the Louisville Cardinals. Georgetown was anticipated to dropoff a bit from a year ago, but certainly no signs of that early. The young Hoyas are shooting the lights out early at 48% for the season and always bring tenacious defense. Louisville certainly their equal on the defensive end, but the Cards are not quite as polished at this stage on the offensive end which should leave the Hoyas in position to stay close or steal one here. The Hoyas, with a pair of wins over Memphis under their belts as well as road win at Bama, are a proven commodity early. The Hooyas have banged the books six straight times taking the cash, while the Cards may be perfect in the loss column, they are imperfect facing teams better than .600 at 0-5-1 ATS in their last six. Grab the points, and back Georgetown.
