The Delaware State Hornets and Villanova Wildcats face off on Monday in a non-conference college basketball showdown at The Pavillion. 

Villanova had some big changes this offseason, and it has been a rocky start to the season. Villanova opened up the season by beating La Salle 81-68, but in the last game against the Temple Owls, they were defeated 68-64. Villanova only scored 24 points in the first quarter and they couldn’t climb out of the hole in the second half. Guard Caleb Daniels was the top player for Villanova scoring 19 points while grabbing three rebounds and adding two assists. In this game, Villanova’s offense can’t get out to a slow start.

On the other side of this matchup is Delaware State and they sit with a 1-1 record heading into this game. In the first game against Virginia Tech the defense was awful giving up 95 points, and they were blown out. In the first game against Immaculata, the Hornets offense was much better scoring 104 points and they were able to win in blowout fashion. Forward Brandon Stone had a big game finishing with 25 points, nine rebounds, and two assists. Khyrie Staten also had a big game finishing with 21 points and six assists. In this game, if the Hornets want any chance to secure a victory the defense is going to need to be a lot better than it was in the first game. 

Villanova is 4-1 against the spread in their last five home games. The over is 4-0 in Delaware State’s last four games on Monday. The over is 7-1-1 in the Hornets last nine games overall. The over is 7-1 in Hornets last 8 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600.

There will be no shortage of scoring in this game. Delaware State gave up 95 points in the first game and they are going to struggle to defend against Villanova. I also expect Delaware State to find more offensive success and that will lead to this game going over the total. Back the over to cash. 

The pick in this article is the opinion of the writer, not a PickDawgz site consensus.
