We should expect great guard play for both teams in this one. Miami senior point guard Angel Rodriguez has compiled 52 points, nine rebounds, nine assists and seven steals in the first two games. Miami is 9-4 OVER the total in non-conference games and 9-2 OVER in NCAA Tournament games. They face a run-and-gun Villanova team that topped UNC Asheville by 30 points before putting up 54 first-half points in a comfortable 19-point triumph against Iowa. The Wildcats got a lift from their senior guard last weekend as Ryan Arcidiacono averaged 15 points on 10-for-15 shooting (six-for-nine from the arc) in the first two rounds. Against Iowa their four top scorers all registered double-digit points and combined for eight three-pointers. Villanova is on a 9-2 run OVER the total and this shapes up as an offensive show. Play this one to finish OVER the total.
