College Hoops Sports Betting – Villanova Tries To Avoid Upset At Seton Hall

There’s a lot to be said about the importance of a veteran leader in college hoops sports betting, and the case has to be made that Villanova is in serious trouble tonight when they visit Seton Hall without senior guard Corey Stokes.

The up-and-down Wildcats have a strong history against Seton Hall overall, but they’re stumbling over themselves pretty badly and have lost two games straight games. One of those losses was at Rutgers, a place were Seton Hall earned their last win.

Overall, Villanova is 8-2 SU in their last 10 games against Seton Hall, and have gone 6-4 ATS in those games. Their last 6 visits to Seton Hall have also proven profitable for their college hoops sports betting backers. The Wildcats are 5-1 SU and ATS in their last 6 games when visiting the Pirates. They’re also 6-3 SU in their last 9 road games in general.

Seton Hall has struggled at home this year. They’re just 1-4 SU in their last 5 games serving as hosts, and though they’re 7-6 ATS when playing in their own building this year it’s hard to put too much stock in that trend. It’s not like Seton Hall doesn’t have value in this matchup. They’re 3-2 SU and 4-1 ATS in their last five games, but the Wildcats simply own them.

College Hoops Sports Betting Line: Villanova -3.5

Losing a leader is never easy initially, but Villanova is a very well coached team and their star players have to step up and take responsibility. Yes, I’m looking at you Corey Fisher. The other senior guard on this team is putting up the most points at 15.8 per game, and he needs to motivate his other teammates as long as Stokes is sidelined.

I really enjoy what head coach Kevin Willard is doing at Seton Hall in his first year. This program can be better, especially since it attracts some decent talent like Jeremy Hazell. But Villanova is a ranked team for a reason, and they’re certainly not comprised of just one player. Stokes is integral to their long term stability in college hoops sports betting, but the Wildcats can survive this road trip without him.

College Hoops Sports Betting Pick – Villanova -3.5

BONUS PICK!

St. John’s Red Storm +6.5 over MARQUETTE EAGLES

It’s easy to fall in love with this St. John’s team, especially when they pick up marquee victories over Duke and UConn, but they have never been successful against Marquette especially when they’re playing on the road. The Eagles are 5-0 SU in their last five home games against St. John’s. Furthermore, they’re 8-0 SU and 6-2 ATS in their last 8 meetings overall.

So why take St. John’s and the points? Well first of all, Marquette isn’t the premier program it used to be this year, and the Eagles are just 2-4 SU and ATS in their last 6 games, and the Red Storm are red-hot right now. With a 4-1 SU record in their past 5 games, I would worry less about St. John’s on the road and more about Marquette struggling to keep up in the Big East. The Red Storm are a worthy take in college hoops sports betting picks until further notice.
