(NCAAB) Villanova vs. Kansas, 03/26/2016 4:49 PM, Score: 64 - 59
Point Spread: 3.00 | -115.00 Villanova (Away)
Result: Win
This is a 10* ELITE 8 GAME OF THE YEAR on Villanova.

Both teams have steamrolled their ways into the Elite 8, but Villanova has looked like the more complete units on both ends of the floor and while we obviously wouldn't be shocked by an outright upset, we will in the end recommend grabbing as many points as you can as we look for the Wildcats to at the very least, take this one down to the wire and sneak in through the back door down the stretch. Villanova ended up trouncing Miami 92-69 in the Sweet 16, while Kansas pulled away for a 77-63 victory over Maryland. The Wildcats average a few less points than the Jayhawks on the year (Villanova posts 77.9 PPG, while Kansas comes in a 82 PPG). Defensively though, Villanova has the upper hand, allowing just 63.8 PPG, ranking it 15th in the nation, compared to Kansas' 67.9 points per game allowed, ranked 75th in the country. The Wildcats have turned up offensive pressure of late though, they've averaged 86 points or more in their three games in the NCAA Tourney and combined with their clearly superior defensive unit, all signs do indeed point to VILLANOVA as the savvy move in this contest.
