The Wildcats have been off for nearly four weeks. The Pirates have generally been money on the road this season -- they've won at Xavier and Marquette -- and the underdog is 4-0 ATS in the last four Seton Hall-Villanova meetings. Look for Sandro Mamukelashvili (18 ppg, 7.5 rpg last four games) to stay hot and help keep this competitive.

The Hall could not be catching ‘Nova at a more ideal juncture of the season. The Wildcats have sat idle since Dec. 23 and has weathered three COVID-19 caused halts to the schedule. Upon resuming practice last Thursday, only eight players were available. Three might be inactive for this game. The Pirates have stormed to eight wins in the last 10 outings, seven of them covers. They have waded through a high number of away games (seven) for a Power Six member, so consider them road warriors.
