No. 18 Marquette Golden Eagles vs. No. 15 Villanova Wildcats @ 8:30 p.m. ET
- Spread: Villanova Wildcats (-5)
- Over/Under: 144
The Wildcats are five-point favorites at home against a Marquette team that hasn’t beaten them at the Finneran Pavilion in seven straight games. Villanova is the slight favorite despite coming into the game riding a three-game losing streak.
Villanova has not performed well ATS with a 10-11-2 record, while the Golden Eagles have been much better boasting a 15-8 record ATS. The underdog Marquette has been on a roll lately as they look to extend their winning streak to four games.
The Golden Eagles are a tough team led by point guard Markus Howard who is averaging 27.4 points, 3.3 rebounds and 3.1 assists this season. Expect for him to have another 25+ scoring outing tonight.
In this matchup, bettors should feel comfortable taking the Golden Eagles ATS or at their +185 money line odds at BetOnline which is slightly better than the +180 odds listed at Bovada. With the total set at 146, the Under seems more attractive as defense should reign supreme in this game.
