Villanova at South Florida

The Villanova Wildcats have hit the 75-point mark in 23 of their last 30 games. This is a very up-tempo team that controls the tempo of the game. Their last 19 Big East games have all topped the 130-point mark, so this total looks very beatable. South Florida will try to keep this game slow, but once they fall behind they will fall victim to having no choice but to speed up, and I look for the second half to really shift gears here. Nova has topped the total in 12 of their last 16 on the road, and the Bulls in four of their last five as a home dog have exceeded the total. I’m playing the OVER here.
