Wednesday BoopProps: Villanova at DePaul

Villanova outscored Temple by 24 points after intermission Sunday, the Wildcats' largest point margin of any half since they opened the season with a 25-point halftime lead over Middle Tennessee State.

We are going to take that as a sign that whatever Jay Wright said at halftime on North Broad Street worked, worked well, and will continue to work well in Chicago.

DePaul has gotten blown out in two of its last three first halves (-19, +6, -14) and since the Blue Demons took the Cats to overtime in the first meeting at Finneran Pavilion, Wright should not have to go deep into the verbal well for the second straight game.

We are going with Villanova covering in first half, and we are going to split the bet and also use an Alternative Line in an effort to make some extra cash.

Villanova –

First Half -2.5 (-107) . . . $6 / $5.64

First Half -6.5 (+200) . . . $5 / $10
