Game Matchup: Syracuse - 3 vs Villanova
Trends/Angles/Analyzes:
Syracuse has dropped 6 of their last 9 games SU while going 3-6 ATS during that stretch. Meanwhile, Villanova has won 4 of their last 7 SU while going 5-1-1 ATS. Villanova's game is solid defense and rebounding. This season the Wildcats are limiting opponents to 39% shooting and allowing just 63 PPG and have controlled the boards in 22 out of the last 27 games. Interesting enough, the Orangemen rank dead last in the Big East in rebounding so expect for Nova to dominate that aspect of the game tonight. On the other side of the ball, Villanova likes to control the pace, slowing the game down with their half-court offense. The Wildcats offense is led by Gary Buchanan who leads the conference in made three pointers and he?s 2nd in FG% from behind the arc, hitting on 45% of his shots. As a team they are shooting 39% from the three pt line and 47% overall. Syracuse shoots 44.9% overall and 34.9% from the 3-pt line. Villanova is shooting 74.4% from the free throw line this year while Syracuse is only 67.9% for the year. Villanova beat Syracuse last week at home 67-61. Syracuse will have revenge on their minds so is going to be a tough game but we still like Villanova to win outright or at least to lose by no more than a bucket. The line is currently Syracuse - 3, but you might want to wait as we expect this line to go up near game time.
Pick2Play: Villanova + 3 (5 units)
Good Luck!
