The PLAY: Utah State -1.5 (-110)
Utah State had a terrific season, and they come into this game with a 28-6 record. The Aggies have an impressive out of conference win on their resume; they beat VCU who just beat North Carolina on Thursday. Utah State owns an efficient offense that doesn’t rely on making 3’s, and that gives them a nice matchup edge in this game against a weak Villanova interior defense. The Wildcats are not an overly talented team compared to years past, and some of their non-conference results were unimpressive. Villanova likes to play extremely slow, but they take a lot of 3’s and don’t get to the free throw line enough. Utah State is simply the better all around team, so lay the short price in this game on Friday afternoon.
Play UTAH STATE (-).
