This is a 10* SECOND ROUND GAME OF THE YEAR on Villanova.

I had a play on UNT in its first round upset over Purdue.

Villanova advanced by beating Winthrop 73-63 as a six-point favorite.

The Mean Green are in unchartered territory now, as they advance to the second round of the NCAA Tournament for the first time in program history.

UNT averages 70.1 PPG, while allowing 61.5.

Villanova averages 75.4 PPG, while conceding 67.

The outright win was impressive by the Mean Green. UNT was one of a few schools to pull off a major upset in the first round, but we're expecting a letdown here in this difficult matchup.

Villanova is the bigger, deeper, better coached and more experienced side here and it's also 7-2 ATS in its last nine neutral site games following an ATS victory.

I'm laying the points, and am expecting a decisive/lop-sided victory.

Good luck, NP
