<\/a><\/p>\nMarquette vs Villanova Analysis from GoldSheet<\/h2>\n
Villanova is looking to avenge their first conference loss on campus since 2017. The Golden Eagles won the first matchup on Jan. 19 as a 13.5-point underdog, holding the Wildcats to 25-percent 3-point shooting. Colin Gillespie missed five of six from beyond the arc and Caleb Daniels struggled to provide scoring off the bench, so they\u2019ll be looking to turn things around in what should be another low-possession game like the first one, which barely topped 63 possessions over 40 minutes. Villanova will have to find the range in an opposing building and is just 5-3 in true road games.<\/p>\n
Marquette shot 13-for-29 on 3-pointers in its upset in Philadelphia and has won its last four games at Fiserv Forum, counting ranked Providence, Seton Hall and Xavier among its victims. Kur Kuath is an excellent rim protector who can create issues for Villanova around the basket and needs to avoid foul trouble to ensure Marquette isn\u2019t overwhelmed on the glass. Shaka Smart\u2019s defense has held their last four opponents to 65 or fewer points, while \u2018Nova has surrendered fewer than 65 in seven of eight.<\/p>\n
