Best Bet of the Day
Villanova Wildcats vs Kansas Jayhawks Under 133
6:09 pm ET, TBS
Villanova plays at one of the slowest tempos in the country, and their offense could be even slower and less efficient without the injured Justin Moore on the floor. Kansas has played surprisingly fierce defense during this run to the Final Four, holding opponents under 40% on 2-pointers and 25.6% on 3-pointers. The Jayhawks’ offense has struggled in the tournament, ranking just 30th in Bart Torvik’s adjusted offense and shooting below their season averages from both 2-point and 3-point range. Read our full game preview for Villanova vs Kansas.
