Fellow third-year Angel Delgado also came up huge, as he flirted with a triple-double\u201412 points, 16 rebounds, nine assists.\u00a0 That was his 13<sup>th<\/sup>-straight double-double and his 26<sup>th<\/sup> of the season.<\/p>\n<p>The Pirates have now set themselves up for a tough semifinal showdown with top-seeded and second-ranked Villanova. Bluntly speaking, this should be a sure win for the Wildcats, considering how they destroyed Seton Hall in both meeting this season. But with the way the Pirates have been playing, we can expect a competitive finish.<\/p>\n<p>The win over the Golden Eagles was their eight in 10 contests, and their six in the last seven games at the Big Apple\u2014a stretch underscored by last year\u2019s astonishing run to the conference tournament championship.<\/p>\n<h3>Betting on the Villanova Wildcats (29-3, 15-3 Big East)<\/h3>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/sportsbook\/basketball\/ncaa-mens\" target=\"_blank\">All Game Lines Here<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Nova blasted its way to the semifinals with a record-setting 108-67 victory over a St. John\u2019s side that was already contented to have reached the quarterfinals of the Big East tournament.<\/p>\n<p>The Wildcats didn\u2019t play perfect basketball, but the stats indicate they almost did. They shot 63.2 percent from the field, committed only five turnovers; shot beyond 50 percent from three and were faulted for just seven personal fouls. It was also the highest scoring effort and the biggest margin of victory play for Nova in conference tournament play.<\/p>\n<p>A repeat of that historic offensive performance is unlikely against a proven group in Seton Hall\u2014a rematch of last year\u2019s Big East championship match. The Wildcats lost there, but that defeat will fuel them even more.<\/p>\n<p>They beat the Pirates by 30 and 22 points in two meetings this season, and you can make that three in a row for Villanova as long as the offense executes efficiently, and the defense manages to prevent Angel Delgado from causing too much havoc down low.<\/p>\n<h3>Writer\u2019s Prediction<\/h3>\n<p>Nova wins and
