Villanova was expected to be amongst the leaders atop of a rugged Big East as they have a nice balance of youth and experience and a guard tandem that ranks in the top five in the country. The Golden eagles have really been under the radar and surprised early. The latest victim was a No. 12 ranked Georgetown team that got picked off in Milwaukee. The Golden Eagles have proven to be a tough out as they came within a whisker of handing a then unbeaten West Virginia team its first loss as they dropped a 1-point decision in Morgantown. Nova realizes that this team is tough and they needed everything they had to hold this team off on the road in a 2-point win. The Golden Eagles is not a bad team and they are not getting the respect in the line, offering value, so I'll back them in this one.
