Rutgers at Georgetown – Hoyas Need a Bounce Back Game
February 3, 2009
Rutgers (10-12 SU, 7-6 ATS, 7-5 O/U) emphatically snapped its nine-game losing streak in the BetOnline Sportsbook on Saturday, spanking the lowly DePaul Blue Demons 75-56 to cover the spread as 3.5-point home favorites.
Georgetown (12-8 SU, 6-9-1 ATS, 8-8 O/U) are in the midst of their biggest struggles in quite some time, having lost five straight games in the BetOnline Sportsbook while failing to cover the spread in four straight games.
Tonight, the Hoyas will look to get back I the win column when they host the Scarlet Knights tonight at the Verizon Center.
Senior forward Jaron Griffin and freshman guard Mike Rosario each scored 16 points to lead the Scarlet Knights to victory as Rutgers scored 42 second half points to run away with the victory.
The Hoyas are coming off a dismal 94-82 loss to No. 8 Marquette on Saturday as they failed to cover the spread for BetOnline NCAA college basketball sports betting members as a 6-point road underdog.
Junior center DaJuan Summers scored a team-high 22 points to lead four players in double figure scoring, but the Hoyas hacked their way to a game-changing loss, getting outscored 30-8 at the free throw line.
Here is a look at tonight’s key trends, followed by my in-depth analysis and NCAAB Free Pick.

Analysis: While the Georgetown Hoyas are mired in a horrific slump at the moment, I like them to bounce back in a big way and cover the high point spread against a Rutgers team that has plenty of its own problems despite beating the lowly Blue Demons their last time out.
Take the Hoyas to win and cover BetOnline NCAA college basketball bettors.
