Villanova is 11-4 ATS in their last 15 Tuesday games and 6-13 ATS in their last 19 road games. The over is 5-2 in Villanova’s last 7 road games. Providence is 2-6 ATS in their last 8 Tuesday games and 0-4 ATS in their last 4 home games. The over is 4-1 in Providence’s last 5 home games. The favorite is 5-2 ATS in these two teams last 7 head to head meetings.
Providence has been on a roll lately with their eight game winning streak, but has had quite a few games decided by one possession. Villanova started the season shaky, but has really found their stride in conference play. These two teams are first and second in the Big East standings. I like Villanova in this matchup and I think the Providence luck is going to run out.
