I will do my best to provide college basketball winners for you on a nightly basis. The majority of the nights we will try to keep it to three plays, but some days may ask for more. I recommend you play them individually .. however, never be scared of a little sniper parlay!

11/8 Card:
Georgetown -17
————————————
Georgetown -17 : Laying 17 with a team on a 21 game losing streak. Whew. Buckle up. However, I feel strangely confident in my handicapping on this one. Let’s start with Coppin State. The Eagles have again deployed the bold strategy of playing back-t0-backs early in their season. I am not sure where they see they value in this, but do you boo boo. Unsurprisingly, they do not handle these b2b’s very well. Last season they had them on two occasions. They lost all four games by a combined 140 points. Yes, a 35 point loss on average in those. The Eagles played Charlotte last night and kicked off this trend in flying fashion, losing by 23 points to the 49ers. They shot 3-22 from the three point line, and got outrebounded 38-28. Georgetown has tremendous length and rebounding prowess this season with transfers Akok Akok (UConn) and Qudus Wahab (Maryland & former Hoya). It should be an assault on the glass in DC tonight. I also do not see the shots starting to drop for the Eagles on a b2b with no practice time. Now, let’s discuss Georgetown. I really fancy the backcourt that Patrick Ewing pulled together through the transfer portal. Brandon Murray (LSU) and Jay Heath (Arizona State) are big time players. I am especially excited for Brandon Murray. The former top 100 recruit really excelled in his freshman season in the SEC. He will bring a combo guard approach to the Hoyas to fill the minutes of Aminu Mohammed who went pro. Georgetown will be without starting point guard Dante Harris tonight, but I am confident that Primo Spears (Duquesne) and Denver Anglin (#88 recruit via 247 Sports) can pitch in and provide great minutes at the point guard position. Let’s trust the Coppin State back-to-back analytics, and also trust that Ewing has put together a competitive squad through the portal. Georgetown big.
Score Prediction: Georgetown 86 – Coppin State 65
Best of luck! Let’s snipe this one y’all!!
