Delaware at Villanova

Delaware stormed to a Colonial Athletic Association title by focusing on defense allowing 56, 55, and 56 points.

Villanova has a losing spread mark this season on neutral courts. They come off a 54-48 loss to Creighton and are 2-8 ATS after a combined score of 125 points or fewer.
