The Mountaineers nearly got caught looking ahead to this one, and escaped Marshall by just 2 points. The Mountaineers are 40-4 in their last 44 on this floor and UCLA fell here last year. West Virginia already took out Marquette by 15 here earlier. The Hoyas living on the edge with OT escape at home to Syracuse, and a Hibbard 3 pointer to escape UCONN at home as well. The Hoyas have dropped both of their big road tests at Memphis and at short-handed Pitt. Three's are not falling right now for Georgetown and West Virginia defends at 30%. The Mountaineers are 14-5 ATS the past three seasons vs. teams at 80%+ straight up. They are also 20-9 ATS as a favorite over the past two seasons. On the surfaceit looks to like the wrong team is favored as the Hoyas are a ranked team on the road, but we are not fooled. The right team is favored and W. Virigina will get the win and cover.
