Ohio State at Villanova

Ohio State enjoyed an impressive win in the first round as it dominated Loyola Chicago, which shot just 26.8%, and Lucas Williamson was held to 1-for-10 shooting and four points. E.J. Liddell scored 16 points for the Buckeyes, who had struggled recently, but they apparently have regained their intensity, especially on defense. Villanova destroyed Delaware 80-60, but the Wildcats are only 3-4-1 ATS their last eight games and pulled out three close wins in their conference tournament. The Wildcats were behind by eight points and then went on a 35-10 run against the Blue Hens. The Buckeyes have covered four straight as underdogs and four in a row versus .600 or higher teams and Ohio State is 13-6 ATS their past 19 neutral site games. Villanova is 0-6 ATS their past six games following an ATS win and is ripe for an upset in this matchup as the Buckeyes shoot 47.2% overall and 36.6% on 3-pointers. Play Ohio State ATS and also on moneyline for a half-unit.
