In Villanova’s last eight games (seven Big East contests and the neutral-site Connecticut game), the Wildcats have outscored opponents by 27 points in the first half, but by 70 points in the second half.
The posted line for each half at DePaul Wednesday is Villanova -2.5.
Bitter Midwest cold or no bitter Midwest cold . . . This is a no-brainer.
Pick: Villanova Second Half -2.5 (-115)
