Ohio vs. Georgetown 2010 NCAA Bracket Predictions: The Georgetown Hoyas, seeded No. 3 in the Midwest Bracket will play the 14-seed Ohio Bobcats at Dunkin Donuts Center in Providence R.I., in the first round of the NCAA mens basketball tournament with tip off set for 7:25 p.m. Eastern.
College basketball picks oddsmakers at online super-sportsbook Bodog.com list the Hoyas as 13 1/2-chalk favorites versus the Bobcats with a 140 total. Georgetown enters the game with a record of 23-10 and was the runner-up in the BIG EAST Tournament. Under the tutelage of John Thompson III, the Hoyas have reached the NCAA Tournament four times in the last five years, including a trip to the 2007 Final Four. Georgetown, one of college basketball's most storied programs, has won one national title and advanced to five Final Fours.
Ohio (21-14) faces a tall task against Georgetown, but history shows the program shouldn't be taken lightly. The Bobcats put a scare into eventual national champion Florida before losing 67-62 a few years ago.
Ohio was given little chance of winning the MAC title when the tournament began, then capped a stunning run with an overtime win against defending champion Akron to earn the league's automatic bid. So the Bobcats are full of surprises.
NCAA Bracket Predictions: We like Ohio getting the 13 1/2-chalk.
