  • Villanova will be looking for a small bit of revenge taking on Seton Hall in the Big East tournament semis Friday. For those who don’t remember, Seton Hall knocked off Villanova in the Big East finals last year to claim its first conference crown in 23 years. However, bettors should keep an eye on the total, as the UNDER is 7-2 in the past nine games between the Wildcats and Pirates.

    SHARK BITES
    • Seton Hall is 1-5 SU in its last 6 games against Villanova.
    • The total has gone UNDER in 14 of Villanova's last 20 games.
    • Seton Hall is 7-3 ATS in its last 10 games as an underdog of 11.0 or more.

    Villanova steamrolled St. John’s in the quarterfinals, as the Wildcats walked away with a 108-67 victory. It is worth noting that starting guard Mikal Bridges played just one minute due to a stomach virus but the ’Nova bench contributed a ridiculous 52 points while shooting 16-for-18. The Wildcats had little issue with the Pirates during the regular season with Villanova going 2-0 by an average scoring margin of plus-31 points.

    Seton Hall enters this semifinal affair red-hot with wins in eight of its past 10 contests. The Pirates dominated the second half against Marquette in the quarters thanks to Angel Delgado’s continued domination. The junior overcame some early foul troubles against the Golden Eagles to record 12 points, 16 rebounds and nine assists while extending his double-double streak to 13 games.

    Sportsbook Odds & Computer Pick
