It has been a great season for Villanova, but this isn't the first season of success for Coach Jay Wright's team. Villanova has not gotten to the second weekend of tourney play since 2009 despite being a first and second seed in two of them. This will be a time of focus for Villanova, and that starts on the defensive end of the court. NC Ashveille has won 22 games on the season, and has defended the three amongst the elite in the country, allowing just 28.4%, one of Villanova's big weapons on offense. The Wildcats are allowing just 40% shooting against a schedule of more capable opponents offensively, and I think this game is going to be played at a slower pace, with each team having the right mix of defensive components to limit the opponent. Play the UNDER.
