This is an opportunity for Pitino\u2019s team to prove they will be a real contender in the difficult Big East. Villanova lost a couple early on, but they have reeled off nine straight wins. The Wildcats are usually tough at home. This should be a good Big East battle.  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.betdsi.eu\/?cmpid=13386_2307\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" style=\"margin: 5px;\" src=\"http:\/\/banners.betdsi.com\/images\/bball-dsi_250_250_2.gif?cmpid=13386_2307\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Louisville has proven able to win games in multiple ways this season. They have scored 86 points or more on six different occasions, but they have also held their opponent to 54 or less three times. The Cardinals are 12<sup>th<\/sup> in the nation in points per game, and they are 16<sup>th<\/sup> in the nation in field goal percentage defense.<\/p>\n<p>Villanova seems to perennially be a guard-oriented team and that is no different this year. Corey Stokes and Corey Fisher are the two leaders for this team, and Maalik Wayns is a quality guard as well. While most people don\u2019t think of Villanova as a defensive team, they have really upped the ante on the defensive end this year. The Wildcats are 11<sup>th<\/sup> in the nation in field goal percentage defense, and seventh in the nation in three-point field goal percentage defense.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Trends<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<p>LOUVI are 6-2-1 ATS in their last 9 games overall.<br \/>\nLOUVI are 32-15-1 ATS in their last 48 road games.<br \/>\nVILLA are 5-2-1 ATS in their last 8 home games.<br \/>\nOver is 7-3 in VILLA last 10 Wed. games.<br \/>\nVILLA are 34-16-1 ATS in their last 51 Wed. games.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Pick:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I expect this to be a very entertaining game.
