West Virginia vs. Villanova, Noon ET (View Matchup)
West Virginia is 5-2 against the spread in their last 7 games with Villanova and 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games against Big East opponents. Villanova is 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games following a failed cover. My pick for this game is West Virginia, as they play a very tough style of defense which will make it tough for Villanova to score. I think this game will come right down to the final minute, so I like the team getting the points.
