Game to watch today: Marquette vs. Villanova

This is a big game in two ways. First, Marquette needs this one to feel comfortable in the projected field. They are right on the edge of the cutline at the moment and they would need to count on help from other teams if they lose this game. Considering the team did not look very good in their win over DePaul last night, they better come out with more fire today.

On the other hand, Villanova is looking to maintain their spot on the No. 1 line. Even though that is likely to happen even with a loss today, it is no guarantee. There are a couple of teams knocking on the door to potentially swipe a top seed from the Wildcats so they need to stay on their guard.
