Marquette at Villanova

Everyone likes to run for number one and Villanova fell at Butler 66-58 on Wednesday for its first loss. They get another tough challenge against a 10-win Marquette squad that has won 8-of-10. That included an 89-79 win at Georgia as a +3 dog. They come off a close loss at Seton Hall as a dog, playing strong defense. The road team is 11-4 ATS in the last 15 meetings and the dog matches up well. Play Marquette.
