Analysis

2-star (652) MARQUETTE -1.5 over Villanova. 2:30pm ET. The Wildcats come in with 11 straight wins (8-3 ATS) but were fortunate to get an OT win vs Creighton the other night. Meanwhile, Marquette lost their first home game of the season to St. John's as the Golden Eagles are 16-2 SU overall in their last 18 games with both losses coming to St. John's. This is homecoming for Marquette and they have revenge for 3 losses to Villanova a year ago. Marquette has the better defense (No. 38 vs No. 78) and since it is projected to be a close game, note that Marquette is No. 7 in the country in free throw percentage as a team (77%). Villanova is also No. 6 in the country in 3-point field goal attempts and the Wildcats have struggled this season when facing teams that defend the "3" well including losses to Penn, Furman and Michigan. Marquette is a solid No. 78 in the country (out of 353) in 3-point field goal defense.
