The Delaware State Hornets (1-1) are in Philadelphia to take on the Villanova Wildcats (1-1) Monday. Tip-off from Finneran Pavilion is at 6:30 p.m. ET (FS2). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Delaware State vs. Villanova odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.
The Wildcats come into this game after suffering their first loss of the season 68-64 at Temple Friday, losing outright as 5-point favorites. Villanova looks to prove it is still one of the best teams in the country despite the shocking retirement of coach Jay Wright after last season ended with a Final Four appearance.
Delaware State looks to gain some valuable experience for its program against one of the big boys of the sport. After losing 95-57 at Virginia Tech in its opener last Monday, the Hornets took out their anger on Immaculata with a 104-67 win of its own. They will just look to keep this one close against the Wildcats and get back home healthy.
