Damn you, puppy!
I am giving up on picking after drinking my Hoya Kool-Aid. That stuff gets you drunk with positive, delusional thoughts.

prhoya, forget the Hoya Kool-Aid. Before making your next pick, have a scotch, with a beer chaser. After the game, have two more.
Works for me, I feel great after the game no matter what the outcome.

Forget about "Heart Attack Hoyas" or "Jekyll and Hyde Hoyas". This year we have the "Roller Coaster Hoyas". That said, it's our turn to win.

This game is pretty simple to predict:
1. Both teams come into this needing a victorty to keep their NCAA hopes alive & are coincidentally coming off of a loss
2. As stated previously in the Providence thread, the Hoyas have been alternating W/L's in their last 6 games (3-3) and in their last 8 gms the Hoyas are now 4-4
Tues nite's game falls in the "W" rotation.
3. Butler has been getting exposed since Big East play began and have fallen out of the rankings which was #18 with a loss to Creighton to seal their unranked fate
Butler is 3-6 in BE play with 2 wins over DePaul and the other over St. Johns
4. For the Gtown, this should be considered a get right game on the road vs an inferior opponent
The Hoyas are bigger, quicker and more athletic and I am expecting an Xavier type performance.
Butler does not matchup well against the Hoyas and have not beaten anyone worth while since #17 Cincinnatti, on Dec. 2
If you can get points with Gtown, take them and may even consider taking the Hoyas outright if they are the under dog in Vegas.
As posters say Hoya Saxa!!!

Hoyas were 3 point favorites against #10 Providence, at home, now a 5 point dogs against unranked Butler on the road. Can home court mean that much? I dislike the Verizon Center, no home court advantage in that building.
I like the Hoyas, happy to take the points. Easy money.

Yes, home court versus home court is generally an 8 point swing in college if you go from home to away. Here, there's also a component here specifically that neither Vegas nor the computer models think Providence is a Top 10 team and most put them fairly close to Butler at around 30th. There have been several analyses around Home Court Advantage that suggest it has little to do with the crowd and much more to do with travel and presumably the comfort level of the gym, sleeping in your own bed, time zone changes, etc. |
