Villanova vs Kansas Prediction | March Madness Final Four Picks
It could be argued that Villanova has looked like the sharpest team during March Madness. Unfortunately, the Wildcats suffered a major injury, with Justin Moore tearing his Achilles. With Villanova running such a short rotation, this could prove to be a major issue during the Final Four.
The fact that the Wildcats rely heavily on the three-point shot could also be an issue. This season, 38% of their points have come from beyond the arc. Kansas ranks 20th in the nation in three-point percentage allowed (29.6%). Look no further than their past two games to see how they can completely take away the long ball, holding Miami to 3/21 and Providence to 4/23.
Because of this, combined with the trends and the injury to Moore, we like Kansas to win and cover. We also like the UNDER on the game total, first-half total and Villanova team total.
Our college basketball betting Villanova vs Kansas prediction for the Final Four will be Kansas covering the spread at BetUS.
For what it’s worth, the ESPN Matchup Predictor gives Villanova a 51.3% chance to win.
