And it&#8217;s a big one against a very talented Villanova Wildcats team. A win would push the Dukes&#8217; winning streak to an amazing 18 games. It would also take a little bit of the sting out of the loss JMU suffered last time Lee Corso and the crew came to town.<\/p>\n<p>So let&#8217;s get going with the predictions. It&#8217;s the same as it ever was. Leave a comment below with your prediction for Saturday&#8217;s game. The person who comes closest to nailing it (winner &amp; score) will get to write a guest post. It&#8217;s that easy. Now let us know you think is going to win, power through the next three days of work, and we&#8217;ll see you all on the Quad Saturday morning.
