Louisville is -2.5 at home against Villanova on Monday Night. The game is in Freedom Hall and will be the famous "White Out" game. Expect one of the greatest crowds of the year on Monday night. Louisville has been rolling as of late outside of a weird first half in Lexington a couple Saturday's ago. Villanova never seems to match up well with Louisville, as evidence of Louisville beating them at Villanova, at home, and at the Garden in the BET for a grand total of THREE TIMES LAST YEAR. Taylor King will present ZERO challenges for our 4 (Jared Swopshire) because Swopshire is even more of a finesse 4 man than King is. Swop will have no trouble guarding King outside. I dont see an answer inside for Samardo Samuels. Widely criticized, he has came on lately as well as the rest of the team. He will score 20+ points tommorow more than likely. TAKE THE CARDS!!!

st johns was beating louisville at the half on saturday, they were 13point underdogs.
#6 Villanova has beaten marquette twice, ole miss by 13....nova is 10th in scoring in the nation and 6th in away scoring. they can hit 3s and drive- they have only loss to in-state rival: temple this season.
charlotte blew out louisville by 22 points and louisville also lost to western carolina....
that being said- i only have 6 SBR points so you shouldnt listen to me hahaaha goodluck.Comment -
It should be a good game. Good Luck T!

Villanova is technically the better team of course but homecourt advantage is huge in games like these.. Just like it was yesterday in the Kansas/Tennessee game..Comment -
I agree with Glitch I just posted this in UNCFOREVER's forum on the same play
You are quite respected my friend, I see your name in the other forum I frequent. BUT, I can't see how you have this pick as a big play. Villanova may be overrated but so is Louisville. Let's not forget these are the same guys who allowed Charlotte to come in and beat them by 22 and Western Carolina by 9. In all honesty, I think the line is home field advantage points and nothing more. This game will be close and like you said Nova may be overrated but they are still a good team and I wouldn't bank on them losing by four or more here. I think it's a no play but if there is a play I say Nova. But GL either way seeing I probably won't play it anywayComment -
This game looks too tough to call and I, for one, will pass.Comment -
on it t powellComment -
It's a pass game. Just like Kansas yesterday with the fishy line. It points to louisville but I can't put money on a junky Louisville team that has looked terrible many times this year. They will be juiced for this game but it's a halftime play at most.Comment -
from a schedule standpoint I would proably roll with Villanova. seems like a tough game to cap, homecourt does obviously bring a huge edge to Louisville but Villanova being the more battle tested team may want to get revenge for their previous losses to Louisville. I lean nova but GL might just pass on this one.Comment -
guys what happened in December should NEVER be looked at with this Louisville team. If you looked at December results and factored them into how and who you bet in Louisville games you will get burned, trust me. This team always turns it on around mid-January after shitty performancesComment -
you know what...tpowell I changed my mind. Louisville is the play here. Sportsinsights has Nova getting 86% of ML bets and 64% ATS bets and line goes up. Louisville all the way and while they have had several losses to schools not on their level I get the feeling they will be excited to play in this game.Comment -
God Damnit T, I was digging Nova, now im laying off"This is why my basketball intelligence is unmatched on this site. I'm sure there are better cappers but no one can tell you the strategies of most coaches before the game even starts "

Lang's on nova! LOUISVILLE IT IS!Comment -
I hate it but Louisville is the play!Comment -
Good discussion thread TPowell. I was leaning Nova, but the line seems too good to be true. I'll probably lay off the game. Good luck.Comment -
All you need to know is that lang is on Nova. Fade away.Comment -
Comment -
ohh no I changed my mind because just woke up and first glance I liked Nova just like everyone else. Then I had some coffee and realized I didn't want to be a square.Comment -
louisville samuels does work tonightComment -
lookin like a pretty legit call. thanks for the inside info
this L-Ville press is ridiculousComment -
Great rebounding by the Cards.Comment -
Nova went on that streak to end the half. Getting it under 10 was huge for them. Hoping the Cards come out with a plan to cool them down. They need to pound it inside a little more where 'Nova is vulnerable.
Good luck to all us that took LouisvilleComment -
2nd Half wager: Pickem +105 <Nova> looks like a good bet, Villanova might get beat but they will not get blown out of the gym.Comment -
I'm banking on them scoring a point more in the 2nd
Cats +1/2Comment -
How about Nova now huh?Comment -
Louisville is who we thought they were...even with whiteout!! The trap failed this timeComment -
Louisville loves to foulComment -
glad i took the over in this game
Comment -
This is one of the most time consuming college basketball games i have ever witnessed & it hasn't even gone in to overtime. I'd like to know how many fouls were called. It's already going on 2 hours 40 minutes.Comment -
