AAA's 10* *NC State/Villanova* BLOCKBUSTER!
(NCAAB) North Carolina State vs. Villanova,
Point Spread: 9.50 | -102.00 North Carolina State (Away)
Result: Win
This is a 10* BLOCKBUSTER on NC State.

While I won't be so bold as to call for the outright upset, I do think the battle tested Wolfpack are getting little respect from the oddsmakers here and think they'll keep this one a lot more competitive than what we're being led to believe. Of course Villanova is the better all around team, but the postseason is about coming together and working as a cohesive unit at the right time and that's definitely something that NC State is showing right now. The Wolfpack will hardly be intimidated in this spot either, they've already toppled Duke, Louisville and North Carolina this season: "We have to approach every game like it's a Duke or a Carolina," guard Trevor Lacey confirmed. Villanova is at its best when shooting the 3 ball effectively, but NC State has been getting the job done from behind the arc as well of late and I think can match shot for shot today. Note that the Wolfpack are 8-5 ATS this year vs. good defensive teams that allow 64 points or less per contest, while Villanova is just 2-3 ATS this year when playing with one or less days rest. Grab as many points as you can with NC STATE.
