You have to love the oddsmakers sometimes. Cliftonpark says that's a lot of points.

Spread opened at -8.5. Went to -9, then -9.5. Now back to -9. 79% of the bets are on Georgetown with the points, however 80% are with Cuse to win outright. I don't care if we win by one, as long as we win, but we know it's not going to be easy.

This line shows how bad GTown is

Probably take the points simply because it will be a rock fight

Line was as expected - for a number of years now Vegas seems to have a system that is very close to KP (after being beat by KP several, several years ago) and then will move the line up to a point either way.

Syracuse has an Adjusted EM of 9.6/100, Tempo of 65 possessions per game
Georgetown has an Adjusted EM of 0.9, Tempo of 69
8.7 point differential / 100, 67 possessions = 5.8

Add 3.5 home point advantage and you get 9.3
