Friday 4:10est tip-off
Villanova Wildcats +2
The feeling here is Villanova played a much tougher schedule playing in the Big East against such competition like St John’s & Connecticut
Utah State lost their last 3 road games to close out the regular season and doesn’t possess, in my opinion, what causes Villanova issues, namely Size
Villanova has issues against bigger physical teams and Utah State’s main rotation has but one guy 6’10”, so I like Villanova’s senior center Duke Brennon to have success down low.
Also, I like the fact that Nova comes into this game with a chip on their shoulders after playing a subpar game last time out against a surging Georgetown team losing by 14 where the Wildcats we’re looking past the Hoyas towards a rematch against a Connecticut team.
Finally, I believe coaching really comes into play during the tournament and Villanova head coach Kevin Willard just had a nice run last year having Maryland playing above their heads.
All of this could mean diddly-squat but I will ride with Nova here
