Villanova at West Virginia

If you haven't been paying attention, Villanova may be playing better than anyone in the country right now. They have four losses, but a closer look is quite revealing. They lost to Texas when they were in the midst of a 7-1 run. They lost to Louisville by one point that was in the midst of a 9-0 run. They lost to Marquette on the road by seven, while they were in the midst of a 12-0 run, and no Big East team has come closer than that at Marquette. They lost to UConn who has reeled off 12 straight, but by just six on the road. They have now scored 100+ in two straight games - a rarity in the Big East. West Virginia has been getting abused by the top of the conference, losing to Marquette, UConn, and Pittsburgh twice, covering just once in the process. ‘Nova has covered eight straight, while W. Virginia is an ugly 2-10 ATS as a favorite. I think the wrong team is favored here, and Nova is a very lively dog. I'll grab them with the points.
