Georgetown Hoyas vs North Carolina State Wolfpack Point Spread Picks

North Carolina State will have its hands full against Georgetown's defense and frontcourt, led by 6-8 freshman Otto Porter and 6-10 senior Henry Sims. Sims has hauled in 32 rebounds the last three games. Georgetown is tops in the Big East in field goal shooting (46.7%) on offense and second in points allowed. NC State relies on offense, stuck in the middle of the pack in the ACC in points allowed and three-point shooting defense. The Hoyas are 16-5 ATS in their last 21 neutral-site games, as well as 36-16-1 ATS in their last 53 non-conference games. Play Georgetown. In addition, Georgetown will control the tempo, which means a defensive, low-scoring tilt. NC State can play that style, as the UNDER is 5-1 in the Wolfpack's last six NCAA Tournament games and the UNDER is 7-3 in their last 10 neutral-site games as an underdog. But Georgetown excels at it and the UNDER is 6-1 in the Hoyas’ last seven non-conference games, plus 12-4 UNDER the total in their last 16 NCAA Tournament games. Georgetown can stifle NC State's long-range attack as the Hoyas allow just 27.4% shooting from beyond the arc. Play UNDER the total.
