Point Spread: 1.50 | -110.00 Villanova (Home)
Result: Loss
Creighton at Villanova 2:30 ET
Wildcats (+) over Bluejays- Creighton, with its NCAA Tournament bid all but wrapped up, will look to build on an impressive 89-75 victory over then-No. 5 Marquette last Saturday on an emotional Senior Day. The Bluejays (22-8, 13-6) have won at least 20 games for the ninth season in a row. They still have a chance to secure the No. 2 seed in the conference tournament. A home victory by Villanova over No. 10 Creighton on Saturday in Philadelphia undoubtedly would impress the NCAA Tournament selection committee. A victory is much needed after the Wildcats (17-13, 10-9 Big East) fell 66-56 on the road against Seton Hall on Wednesday. While a win over the Bluejays won't guarantee an NCAA bid for the Wildcats, it certainly would improve their chances heading into the Big East Conference tournament. Wildcats won earlier December meeting 68-66 in overtime. I expect them to do it again. Take VILLANOVA!
