#22Butler (21-6) @ #2Villanova (26-2) – 9PM ET, FS1

Barring a late-season collapse, Villanova will be the #1 overall seed when the selection committee’s bracket is released two weeks from Sunday. The Wildcats have only lost two games this year, one of those two losses was on the road against Butler, so this is a revenge game for ‘Nova. Butler is also a lock to make the tournament, but a second win over Villanova would certainly boost their seed. Butler is capable of doing that, but Nova will have this one at home, and Josh Hart (18.8 points) will lead them to a victory.

The Pick: Villanova

#7Louisville (22-5) @ #8North Carolina (23-5) – 9PM ET, ESPN

This game might determine who gets the one seed in this year’s ACC Tournament. The two teams are currently tied, one game ahead of anyone else in the conference, these teams are ranked seventh and eighth in the polls, fifth and sixth in Kenpom, the point is, they’re pretty evenly matched. Louisville has won six of their last seven, and Carolina has won four of their last five, including a murder of Virginia on Saturday. This game will come down to North Carolina’s great offense against Louisville’s great defense, and we saw how Carolina dealt with Virginia’s defense, I expect the Heels to do the same to Louisville here.

The Pick: North Carolina
