Georgetown is making its 24^th NCAA Tournament showing and fourth appearance in the last five years. The Hoyas are 23-10 overall and 10-8 in the Big East Conference. The Hoyas average 73.2 points per-game, which ranks 78^th in the country. The Hoyas give up 65.1 points per-game, which ranks 84^th in the country.

Georgetown has been led by Austin Freeman, who averages 16.7 points per-game while Greg Monroe averages 16.1 points and 9.5 rebounds per-game. Chris Wright also chips in 14.8 points per-game.

Ohio is making its 12^th tournament appearance and first since 2005. The Bobcats are 21-14 overall and 7-9 in the Mid-American Conference.

Ohio won the MAC Tournament title to get the bid.

Ohio scores 74 points per-game, ranking 68^th nationally, while allowing 68.5 points per-game, which ranks 162^nd.

Ohio.

The MAC used to be a dangerous representative in the NCAA Tournament, but have struggled in recent years. The Bobcats are playing much better than their record indicates as

Ohio has won five straight coming into the tournament and seven of its last eight. While

Ohio probably doesn’t have the talent to win straight up, they will likely give the Hoyas all they can handle in a high scoring affair. We suggest taking

Ohio and the over.

Our NCAA Tournament Free Pick for this matchup is:
OHIO +13.5 and OVER 138
