Villanova Wildcats -19 to rout Niagara Purple Eagles
Game Time: Wednesday, November 19, 2008 07:00 PM ET
Joe Mihalic and Niagara will be a top squad in the MAAC this season, but the Purple Eagles don't have enough to hang with a Big East power like the Villanova Wildcats.
Honestly, the line is a little high with the long range options the Niagara Purple Eagles possess in the starting lineup and bench wise.
However, we must give great respect for recharged 'Nova who is sitting back, taking notes for a major run at the Big East and the national title. With the Wildcats playing in one of the major conferences, while dialing up a huge array of top-100 recruits, the future looks bright.
Head coach Joe Mihalic of Niagara has a nice club once again, but not at this "Class A" level. Granted the transfers, including Bilal Benn from Villanova, and frosh talent should send the Eagles on the up-tick as the season progresses, but not at Villanova, even at this overpriced number.
Free Pick: Villanova -19 (-110)
