Looking a Villanova's last game, a 90-78 win at Creighton, gives us value. Creighton has one the most efficient offenses in the country, is a fast-paced team and has the conference's worst defense. The Wildcats are #341 in tempo and at home where they control the pace and play tough defense.
I look for a low scoring game.
Xavier LY was #62 in tempo with an offense led by Trevon Bluiett but this season without a go-to scorer they are #284 in tempo. Lastly, Xavier on the road is only shooting 42.2% and I believe all of this leads to an UNDER THE TOTAL game here Friday night.
