Depaul has played well to start the season and will be at home to take on Villanova. Both teams have had different starts to conference play, however. Villanova has taken care of business by winning each of their three conference games by more than six points. Depaul has been just the opposite, losing all three conference games, two on their home court, by at least four points. In the three losses, Depaul has scored less than 70 points and has not shot the ball well. They will be facing a Nova defense that has held their opponents to 55 points in their last three games while putting up more than 70 points a game. Villanova is better on both ends of the court and should come away with an easy win over Depaul.

Play on Villanova. This is an 8* play.
