Comp play for Wednesday is the Hoyas plus the points in their opening round game versus the Red Storm.
This will be the third meeting of the year between the long-time rivals, and thus far the Hoyas are 2-0 both straight up and against the spread in a pair of games that have been decided by a grand total of just 7-points!
That being the case, stick with the underdog in this one, as Georgetown may be cold - losers of 4 in a row both straight up and against the spread - but St. John's isn't exactly mowing teams down these days either, as the Johnnies enter just 1-3 straight up their last 4 games.
With Georgetown having won 6 of the last 9 series meetings straight up, have to take the points out to play tonight at Madison Square Garden.
Look for another nailbiter of a meeting between these 2 Big East schools.
Georgetown plus the points to be there.
2* GEORGETOWN

Your Wednesday freebie is the Under in the Raptors-Pistons meeting at the new Little Caesars Arena in Motown.
With last night's Under at Philips Arena in Atlanta, the Raptors have now held Under the total in each of their last 4. Expect the Raptors to be a little dragging tonight after being on court on the road last night, and that could easily translate to a slower paced game from the Raptors.
Detroit has played Under the total in their last pair of games, and they are 5-1-3 Under the total overall their last 9 times on the court.
Series numbers also point towards a lower-scoring game, as the Under is 3-1-1 the past 5 meetings between these Eastern Conference rivals.
Lower-scoring game in store for Wednesday night between the Raptors and the Pistons. Play it Under.
3* TORONTO-DETROIT UNDER
