THE VITALS: Marquette Golden Eagles (11-4, 2-1) at #3 Villanova Wildcats (13-1, 1-1)
THE DATE: Saturday, January 6, 2017
THE TIME: 7pm Central
THE LOCATION: Wells Fargo Center, Philadelphia, PA
THE TELEVISION: FS1, with Brian Custer and Len Elmore on the call
THE STREAMING: Fox Sports Go
THE RADIO: 540 ESPN Milwaukee, with Steve “The Homer” True & Jim McIlvaine on the call
THE LIVE STATS: GameTracker
THE LINE: Marquette +16
THE PROJECTION: KenPom gives Villanova a 91% chance of victory, which doesn’t take into account how pissed off the Wildcats are about 1) losing to Butler for their first loss of the season nor 2) Marquette beating them in Milwaukee last season to knock them off the #1 in the country spot. The projected score is 89-74.
