Villanova takes on the Cincinnati Bearcats Saturday night in the third game of Big East play for the Wildcats. Fresh off a win against ranked Pittsburgh, Villanova will look to improve its conference record to 2-1.

Cincinnati is 7-8 overall, but 2-1 in conference play, with wins over Louisville and Syracuse.

GreyCat at VBTN runs an excellent preview of the game.

The game will air live at 7 p.m. Villanova time on the ESPNU network. For those without ESPNU television packages, a sports bar might be a good bet.

The other night I watched a less talented basketball TEAM, supported by maniacal --- Novelike --- fans, from Cincinnati take apart a bunch of talented youngsters from Syracuse that insisted in playing one on one basketball.

My hope is that we learned from watching that game, and the DePaul experience, what it takes to prevail in Cincinnati.... Therefore I predict:

Villanova -- 64
Cincinnati -- 62
