Villanova vs Providence College Basketball Betting Preview
Providence has been dealing with major injuries this year and can’t string wins together. They're having a down year, to say the least, but the Friars do have a formula to compete tough against some of the best Big East teams.
They always match up nicely against the Villanova Wildcats. It showed in their game earlier in the season when they held a lead late in the second half but ultimately lost 75-73 in Villanova.
Providence is led by Bensley Joseph, and it holds a 9-4 record at home.
The Wildcats had one of their biggest wins last game against the St. John’s Red Storm, who sit on the top of the Big East.
I believe this is a great spot for the Friars to steal a game.
I’ll be locking in the points with the home 'dog, and I wouldn’t be surprised if they snag this win in Friartown.
