On Friday night at Finneran Pavilion, Big East division leaders Marquette and Villanova face off in a game that could determine their division winner and seed in the NCAA Tournament. Kyle Neptune's Wildcats have shot almost 40% from three this season - fifth overall - but that hasn't always translated to wins; Villanova recently lost by five to UConn before Steven Ashworth hit an unlikely game-winner against Xavier; leaving them at risk of missing Field of 68 for three straight years under Neptune's direction.
To avoid that fate, they will need to make significant strides forward, especially defensively. At present, the Wildcats allow 74.3 points per game and score well from free throw line. Unfortunately, their defense doesn't put much pressure on opposing teams from the start and allows opponents to get plenty of easy shots against them.
Shaka Smart must force more turnovers and take better care with the ball to prevent opposing teams from creating transition scoring opportunities. They also need to do a better job crashing the offensive glass - as was evident during their first meeting - as their average offensive rebound percentage remains just 30.6% this season.
