Notre Dame at Villanova

Both of these teams play terrific on the defensive end of the court, but the difference lies on the offensive end. I told you early in the season that the Wildcats may suprise some people and finish in the top end of the Big East. They are a young team, who was in need of a confidence boost. They got it last Saturday while pounding previously unbeaten Kansas. Nova dropped an earlier meeting with these two teams by six points on the road. It was a game that saw them shoot only 37% from the floor. That will change tonight, and the campus will have caught Nova fever. I like Nova minus the points here for two stars.
