NCAA Basketball Free Picks - Villanova at Pittsburgh
BetUS: The
Villanova Wildcats, (13-5 SU, 5-10 ATS, 7-8
O/U) have been maddeningly inconsistent all
season and their last four games, illustrate
this point perfectly. After beating DePaul
76-69 and Syracuse 81-71 on Jan. 16 and 19,
the Wildcats dropped back-to-back contests
against Rutgers, (80-68) on Jan. 23 and Notre
Dame, (90-80) on Saturday.
Even worse – or better – considering
on where your allegiance lies, the Wildcats
are a pathetic 1-8 ATS in their last nine
games.
The 18th-ranked Pittsburgh Panthers, (16-4
SU, 10-5 ATS, 7-8 O/U) were also pounded
by Rutgers this past Saturday, losing to
the Scarlet Knights 77-64 while getting outscored
45-25 in the second half to end their 13-game
home winning streak.
The Panthers, who are 1-2 in their last
three games, have been led all season by
junior forward Sam Young, (18.3 ppg) while
Villanova has been led by sophomore guard
Scottie Reynolds, (17.2 ppg).
Pittsburgh has won five straight at home
against Villanova dating back to Feb. 12,
1997.
Here’s a look at tonight’s
key trends followed by my NCAAB Betting
Free Picks.
Key Wildcats Trends
The Wildcats are 1-4 ATS in their last five
games following a S.U. loss.
The Wildcats are 1-4 ATS in their last five

Key Panthers Trends

Key Totals Trends
The Under is 4-0 in Wildcats last four vs.
a team with a winning S.U. record.
The Under is 4-1 in Wildcats last five games
following a S.U. loss.
The Under is 4-0 in Panthers last four vs.
a team with a winning S.U. record.

following a S.U. loss.
Key Head-to-Head Trends

The Home team is 7-3 ATS in the last ten
meetings.
Analysis: I
don’t think either team
is eight points better than the other in
this matchup, meaning, take the Villanova
Wildcats to cover the spread.
