I like Villanova -35.5 because Rider's poor shooting leaves little room to keep up with Nova's inside-out offense.
Rider shot 32.4% across its first three Division I games while allowing 49.7%, including a 95-57 loss at Pittsburgh. Villanova has shot 50.3% and allowed 34.2% through three games.
Luigi Suigo had 19 points and five assists against La Salle. His passing from the post complements Jake Fiegen, who's made 10 of 18 threes through three games, tied for second in the Big East at 55.6%.
Nova's scoring has continued after halftime at home. It put up 51 second-half points against Holy Cross, then outscored La Salle 23-9 over the final 11 minutes of its next game.
