Villanova vs Delaware State 11/14/22 College Basketball Picks, Predictions, Odds

The Delaware State Hornets and the Villanova Wildcats meet in college basketball action from the Finneran Pavilion on Monday night.

The Delaware State Hornets will try to build on their 104-67 win over subdivision Immaculata last time out. Brandon Stone led the way with 25 points along with a team-high 9 rebounds while Khyrie Staten added 21 points on 7 of 15 shooting with 3 threes, 6 assists and 4 steals. Jevin Muniz added 12 points with 4 assists and a pair of steals. Okoye Parker added 10 points to cap off the group of double-digit scorers for Delaware State in the win. Corey Perkins also added 6 points with 6 rebounds and team-highs of 10 assists and 5 steals.

The Villanova Wildcats will be out to bounce back from a 68-64 loss to Temple in their last game. Caleb Daniels led the way with 19 points on 6 of 16 shooting while Eric Dixon added 18 points on 7 of 14 shooting with 5 rebounds and Jordan Longino added 11 points on 5 of 7 shooting to cap off the scoring in double figures in the win.

Delaware State is 11-3 ATS in their last 14 games overall and 6-2 ATS in their last 8 road games while the over is 7-1-1 in their last 9 games overall. Villanova is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 home games and 47-22-3 ATS in their last 72 games following an ATS loss while the under is 4-1 in their last 5 Monday games.

I get the case to be made for an underdog in some spots, but the problem for Delaware State is that they continue to be one of the worst D-I teams in the country, and they get pummeled more often than not when they take these big steps up in competition. Villanova hasn’t been overly convincing in their first two games, but this should be a good spot for Villanova to open it up and whoop Delaware State. Give me the Wildcats.
