One of the more anticipated games of the Sweet 16 round matches a pair of old conference rivals in Boston College & Villanova. Each of these teams has become a popular final four pick but obviously only one of them will get the continued chance to reach that goal. The BC Eagles come in having won eight of their last 10 games, both SU & ATS. They boast a big experienced lineup quite contradictory to that of Villanova, whose talent is mostly on the perimeter. It should be an excellent clash of styles. Villanova is the top seed in the Minneapolis Region, while Boston College is 4th. Tip-off for this contest is set for Friday at 7:10 PM ET from the Metrodome. Villanova sits at about a 2-1/2 point favorite.
