This isn't the first time we've noticed that interim coaches are unlikely to pull too hard on the reins of their teams. So it seems to be going with Mike Nardi at Villanova, the bridge between Kyle Neptune and Kevin Willard, who let the Wildcats play on Tuesday with the result an 85-64 romp past Colorado. Nine of the key Nova cogs have opted out of the Crown, with top scorers srs. Eric Dixon (22 points) and Wooga Poplar (24 points) especially effective vs. the Buffs. We can't blame SC's offense 9which scored 89) for Tuesday's game vs. Tulane landing "under," rather it was a feeble display by the disinterested Green Wave. which hit beneath 34% from the floor. Though minus key contributors Wesley yates (foot) and Chibuzo Agbo, the second and third leading scorers, the Trojans still hit almost 64% from the floor when scoring their 89. At 20-7 to the "over" since early December, that still seems a proper way to look with the Trojans. Play Villanova-USC "Over" (Crown at MGM Grand Garden, Las Vegas)
