Villanova at Providence

The Providence Friars have done a good job at home where they are 11-2 on the season, but the offense, which likes to run, has been slowed down with the advent of conference play. The Friars five games prior to Big East action went for 80+ in all of them, but in seven Big East games they have not even reached 80. Villonova is a tough defensive team that has not allowed an opponent to top 74 since conference play began. This is a lofty total in a physical conference that rarely sees games make it to the mid 150s as these two have proven this year. I'll back the UNDER in this one.
