Line: Notre Dame by 9
The Hoyas face a desperate opponent with tenuous NCAA tournament hopes when they travel to South Bend. The Irish have been merciless at home, knocking out Connecticut, Villanova and most recently unbeaten Boston College. Thanks to the dangerous perimeter trio of penetrator Chris Thomas (14.0 points, 6.5 assists), and gunners Chris Quinn (12.9 points) and Colin Falls (11.9 points), Notre Dame is perhaps the most difficult team in the Big East to defend. Georgetown’s better league record and 55-54 victory over the Irish at the MCI Center last month make this the equivalent of a bonus-round game for the Hoyas: a loss wouldn’t hurt their solid NCAA tournament credentials, but an unexpected road victory would practically lock the Hoyas into the tournament and allow them to start focusing on improving their seeding.
