Play: Villanova/DePaul under 144.5 -110
Time: 2 p.m. ET
Reasoning: DePaul was supposed to play last Tuesday, but a blizzard postponed that game at Providence and the teams played on Thursday instead. So the Blue Demons have had just one day to prepare for the Wildcats, which have had five days to prepare for DePaul. If this is a blowout, a real possibility, I think it only helps the under. I won't bet on it being a rout, however, given that the Blue Demons are excellent from the free-throw line (74.3%) and because they've allowed opponents just 21.4% shooting from behind the arc in their last five. Additionally, Villanova also plays excellent perimeter defense and has allowed opponents just 62.8 ppg over its last five. The Wildcats are coming off of a 71-50 drubbing of Creighton, who they held to just 14 points in the first half. On January 10 these teams combined for only 125 points.Villanova games average 136.5 points and DePaul games average 146.3 points.
Record: 260-195-9 (57.1%)
Bankroll: +182.88%
