Villanova vs. Kansas

This should be a great game, as both teams are playing at a very high level. Villanova has won their three games on their way to the Elite 8 by a total of 72 points. Kansas has won their three games by a total of 54 points, so something has to give in this one. Villanova is a good shooting team, but right now they are sizzling hot, connecting on nearly 60% of their shots in the tournament, and it seems like everyone on the team is dialed in. They are knocking down the three-point shot at an alarming rate. I think it is the shooting along with the fact that the Wildcats simply does not turn the ball over. Villanova has turned the ball over fewer than 10 times a game in their last eight, while turning their opponent over 14 times a game in their last nine. Kansas has 72 turnovers in their last five or 14.4 per contest, and have a negative turnover advantage in the tournament, despite the three wins. That comes back to bite them in this one. Take the points on Villanova.
