Why Villanova will lose to Marquette and beat Virginia

Of all the sporting events of the year, march madness easily tops the list as most exciting, crazy, fun, and unpredictable. My favorite team year after year, Villanova, is returning strong as last years national champion. Villanova is 19-1 and holding on to the top spot on the national rankings. The next regular season game is on January 24, at 7:00 against the Marquette Golden Eagles, at Marquette. Marquette is

another conference team in the Big East and has won a national championship before. Right now, they are unranked at 13-6, playing #1 Villanova. I believe Villanova, coming off their 5 game win streak, will lose this game by underestimating the Golden Eagles’ impressive first half offensive presence. Villanova is the better team, but they tend to get cocky off of win streaks, and disregard their opponents rigor in the first half, as they did off their 14 game win streak against #18 Butler, also in the Big East. Villanova will hopefully make an impressive second half comeback, but after Marquette’s crowed gets pumped up at home, it will be very difficult to pull of a win. This will knock Villanova out of the #1 spot, but only for a little while. Before next Monday, Villanova has an out of conference game against the Virginia Cavaliers who are 15-3, holding on to the #12 spot. Virginia is also on a win streak, having won their last three games, and may fall to Villanova’s rage. I believe this will be a close game, but Villanova will beat Virginia, and move back up close to #1.

**UPDATE 1/30/2017** Villanova did lose to Marquette (74-72) and beat Virginia (61-59)
