The #6 ranked Villanova Wildcats will be on the road at Marquette this Saturday, and the visitors are a double-digit favorite in this one. The Wildcats have won seven in a row, including a 70-52 home win over the Golden Eagles. We might expect Marquette to be more competitive here at home, and I'll take the points.
Here are my keys to the game:
1. Home Cookin' - The Wildcats have won two of three visits to Marquette since 2010, but both of those games were close. They needed overtime in last year's win, and won by a score of 74-72 back in 2010.
2. Recent History - Villanova has won three straight on the road since losing at Georgetown, but their last two road wins came in games decided by a combined nine points at Butler and Providence.
3. X-Factor - The Golden Eagles are tied for first in the Big East forcing turnovers on 22% of their opponent's possessions.
Selection: This is a play on the Marquette Golden Eagles (10*)
