Villanova vs. Louisville
Villanova is in a tough spot for this game tonight. Because of their small lineup, the Wildcats are guard heavy with little height in the paint. And small, guard-orientated teams are the ones Louisville matches-up well against.
The Cardinals have beaten Villanova three straight times (two home wins by 14 points each) because of the match-ups, and there’s nothing that has changed in which a different result will be seen tonight. Louisville is also catching Villanova at the right time as the Wildcats may be emotionally drained after escaping Marquette by a bucket on Saturday then hopping on a plane to head nearly halfway across the country for their second game in barely 48 hours. Tonight’s game is also a lot bigger for Louisville than it is for Villanova. After struggling earlier in the season, the Cardinals are unranked and in need of some signature wins to build their resume for the NCAA tournament.
Louisville-3
Oklahoma State vs. Oklahoma
It’s do or die time for Oklahoma tonight. So off the embarrassing loss at Baylor, and with their arch rival coming into their building, the Sooners are primed for a peak performance tonight. Oklahoma is 7-0 at home this year, and their offense has been shooting the lights out on their home floor. They average 81 points on 46.7% shooting from the field and 37.9% from three-point land. Oklahoma St’s defense has been horrendous on the road as they allow 78 points on 50.9% shooting from the field and 40.6% from three-point land.
Oklahoma +1
-7.5 over NC Greensboro
