Red Storm vs Wildcats

Grade B+: Villanova (-108)

Villanova's potent offense, led by Eric Dixon's 23.8 points per game, has been formidable, especially at home, where they shoot 40.9% from beyond the arc. St. John's, while boasting a tenacious defense and a ten-game winning streak, has struggled with perimeter shooting, ranking 358th nationally. In their previous meeting, the Red Storm secured an 80-68 victory, but Villanova's recent home win over Xavier (80-68) indicates their resilience. Considering the Wildcats' home-court advantage and improved form, they are well-positioned to cover the +2 spread in this matchup.
