Villanova Wildcats 

Villanova started out the year on a sketchy clip, going 10-12 overall through 22 games. The Wildcats are a decent 5-2 in their last seven games with wins over DePaul, Seton Hall, Butler, Xavier and Creighton alongside losses to Creighton and Providence. 

In the rematch with Creighton on Saturday, the Wildcats jumped out to a 38-24 halftime edge. Villanova cruised on 41 more second-half points and ended up with a 79-67 win. Eric Dixon led the team on 31 points and two rebounds. 

Seton Hall Pirates 

Over on the Seton Hall side, they managed a 13-9 run through their first 22 outings. The Pirates have since gone a sketchy 3-4 with losses to Creighton, Villanova, UConn and Xavier mixed with wins over St. John’s, DePaul and Georgetown. 

In the Xavier game on Friday, the Pirates were drilled 40-21 in the first half. Seton Hall didn’t get any closer on a 42-39 second and ended up losing 82-60. Topping the scorers was Dre Davis with 13 points and five rebounds. 

ANDREW’S FREE PICK 

I’m going to take a stab on Villanova. So long as the Wildcats don’t have the proverbial big-win hangover here, I think they’ll be alright. Villanova has won five of their last six games even though they’re not blowing away the scoreboard. The Wildcats have given up 67 or fewer points in five of those six games. On February 11 when these teams last met up, Villanova posted a 58-54 win at Wells Fargo Center Philadelphia. This rematch will probably look similar, though a mildly higher total wouldn’t be surprising either. Should be a fun matchup regardless.
