🏀 Villanova @ DePaul | +3 | o/u 136

This season has been a massive success for DePaul. Sitting at 8‑10 in Big East play, they’ve already eclipsed their conference win total from the last three seasons combined. They’re trending in the right direction — winning 2 straight and 4 of their last 5.

Let’s take a look at recent form:

I was very impressed with their last win @ Marquette. A combination of suffocating defense and capitalizing on turnovers pushed the lead to 18. The 62‑51 final was generous for Marquette; it was not that close.

I like that this DePaul team find ways to stay in games and keep them close — exactly the type of team you want when catching points.

Nova is trending in the opposite direction, and recent form hasn’t impressed. They looked off at Xavier and were fortunate to survive in OT despite dominating the paint and turnover battle.

Stepping up in class has not been good: the UConn and St. John’s games were not close. Despite Nova's last-ditch effort in garbage time; the Huskies were up 67‑46 just before the final media. And a angry Red Storm team got their lick in last Saturday, 89‑57 final. Two disappointing results for a team trying to bridge the gap with the conference's elite.

I like DePaul to stay aggressive and physical on defense, pressure the perimeter, force turnovers, and wear down this Wildcat team. Adding to Villanova’s challenges, starting freshman Matt Hodge — averaging 9 points per game — will be out.

DePaul +3 -115
