00:00but a big battle in the big east marquette on the road tonight taking on villanova also a very
00:06short spread in favor of the road team that would be the golden eagles now just a point and a half
00:12minus 122 on the money line total stands at 142 and a half villanova had a chance to knock off
00:20yukon earlier this week squandered a 14 point second half lead about midway through that second
00:26half marquette trying to stay in any bit of that big east title race that st john's is really in
00:32command of at this moment what do you like tonight between the cats and the golden eagles yeah let's
00:37have some fun with this one too typically villanova plays their home games out on the pavilion on the
00:41main line this one will be at the wells fargo center which is the fact a home away from home
00:45just a few miles away from their campus but i do think the three-point shot is the key tonight ben
00:50because you're lining this up we know marquette likes to do the three-point shot number three
00:54in conference play doing that volume wise number six in conference play is villanova but here's
00:58where the battle is going to be won villanova is the best three-point shooting in conference play
01:02percentage wise 39 of their shots as a team go down but how about marquette's defense number one
01:07overall defending the three-point line but they will let you shoot the three-point shot and also
01:12villanova's defense 11th out of 11 teams been at letting you shoot the three-point shot i'm going
01:16to ride this one out i'm going to say we're going to be efficient in this game make the three-point
01:20shots in the close ball game climb those fouls in the final two minutes if you need them how about
01:25over 142 and a half between marquette and villanova why because the three lines the
01:29three-point line should be available tonight for both schools
