Seton Hall vs. Villanova Pick
Will No. 2 Villanova cruise in tonight’s Big East Tournament semifinal when it faces Seton Hall at 6:30PM ET?
According to oddsmakers at BetDSI, Villanova is the clear favorite in this game, as the Wildcats are getting odds of -11.5 points against Seton Hall. The over/under total has yet to be set. Nova won both meetings this season, each by at least 20 points. Today’s game takes place from Madison Square Garden in New York.

Bet on the Big East Tournament
Nova seems to be back in form of the championship team it was a year ago. The Wildcats have won their last three since losing to Butler by an average of 27.6 points. While Seton Hall is rolling right now, the Pirates haven’t matched up well with the Wildcats this season and I don’t see anything changing about that today.
