Joe D'Amico's NCAAB Diamond Game of the Month

Seton Hall vs. Villanova, 01/18/2012 19:00 EDT, Score: 76 - 84

Point Spread: 0/-110 Seton Hall

Sportsbook: BookMaker

Result: Loss

Today's winner is Seton Hall over Villanova. This is my Diamond Game of the Month.

There is a reason why Villanova is making youthful mistakes. It is because they have 4 freshman in their rotation. The Wildcats are 4-10 SU and 3-9 ATS (2 no line games) over their L14 contests. TOs have killed the team so far this season. Not to mention poor shooting. The 'Cats are a mere 31% from 3 point land and 43% from the field. There is no way they can run with the nationally ranked 15-3 Seton Hall squad. The Pirates have been money, going 10-4 ATS this season. Pope, Theodore, and Edwin are combining for 47.5 PPG and 20.5 RPG. The Pirates are 4-0 ATS their L4 vs. the Wildcats, 4-1 ATS their L5 games vs. the Big East, and 4-1 ATS their L5 games played overall. The Wildcats are 2-14 ATS their L16 games played at home, 3-12 ATS their L15 games played vs. the Big East, and 17-37-1 ATS their L55 games played overall. Take Seton Hall. Thank you.
