Marquette vs Villanova prediction
The Golden Eagles certainly have been playing better in recent games, save for a few patches here and there. But MU is not a good shooting team (Big East-low 26.8% on 3-pointers), so it becomes a math problem against squads like Villanova, which puts up a lot of 3s and shoots 36.3 from distance.
