Prediction: Villanova Over UConn
Am I picking on-the-hot-seat Kyle Neptune over two-time defending National Champion Dan Hurley? Something seems off with a UConn team that hasn't made up for the losses from last year's team, which Villanova has exploited this season. The Wildcats upset the Huskies at home and built a 14-point second-half lead at Connecticut, as they appeared to be on their way to a season sweep before a 27-6 run earned UConn a split. According to Hurley, half his team (at least) is already thinking about the portal, and at times, it looks like it. This one should be close, and with their top five in minutes played all shooting over 34 percent from three-point range, Nova hits enough shots to pull off the upset on Thursday night.
Next Game: vs. No 2 Creighton
