Villanova has had a great season thus far as they enter this game at 23-3 on the season. The Wildcats, however, have not played well in their last two, losing big to Creighton, and needing overtime to slip past Providence. St. John's is a bubble team right now and a win against Villanova would be a huge piece for their tourney resume. The Red Storm have been on fire lately as they are 9-1 in their last 10 games, losing only to Creighton by 3 points. They are on a 7-1 ATS run over their last eight games, and certainly have enough to hang in this one. Villanova may have the gaudy record on the season, but St. John's has more to play for here, and has been the better team over their last 10 games. Take the points and go with St. John's.
