Villanova has won five in a row and is on a 6-1 ATS run after defeating Creighton 80-69 on Saturday, holding the Bluejays to 8-for-27 from 3-point range. The Wildcats allow only 69.1 points per game, and they have covered four of five as favorites. Villanova is 13-6-1 ATS in the past 20 meetings with Xavier, which has lost five of its past seven games. The Musketeers did beat Marquette 96-88 on Saturday, thanks to jumping out to a 51-35 halftime lead while hitting 16 3s for the game. That is unlikely to happen in consecutive games against a superior opponent. Villanova has won seven of nine true road games outright. Take Villanova.
