St. Joseph's at Villanova

This is a huge inner-city rivalry game, as the 7-0 and #9 ranked Villanova Wildcats do battle with the St. Joseph's Hawks. Villanova won last year by 30 points, and I think coach Phil Martelli will have something to say for that as he prepares his Hawks team for this one. St. Joe's comes in off another inner-city battle and got the win vs. Temple. The Hawks are not deep but have quality at the top in Bembry, Brown, and Miles to stay in touch here to an inflated number - especially for a rivalry game where strange things have been known to happen. The Hawks are 7-1 ATS on the road after three or more at home, and have taken the money in five of the last seven meetings vs. Nova. Grab the generous points and back St. Joseph's.
