Villanova Wildcats Final Four\u00a0Breakdown<\/h2>\nWhy Villanova will beat Oklahoma<\/h3>\n
Buddy Hield and Oklahoma have been lighting up the tournament, but Villanova should have\u00a0no problem getting into a shootout with Sooners. The Wildcats averaged 88 points through the first three rounds of the tournament, and have a wide array of options that can do damage on offense.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>Each of their big four \u2013 Josh Hart, Kris Jenkins, Ryan Arcidiacono and Daniel Ochefu \u2013 has averaged double-digit scoring in the tournament, with any of the four capable of going off offensively. They can also go toe-to-toe with the Sooners from beyond the arc if needed. They average 8.6 made\u00a0threes per game, inside the top 50 in the country.<\/p>\nHowever, the Wildcats can also win ugly with some good old-fashioned defense, just like in their 64-59 win over Kansas. The Cats rank 15th<\/sup> in the nation in scoring defense (63.6 points per game), and are one of the best in forcing turnovers.<\/p>\nWhy Villanova will win it all<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n
Villanova may just be the most complete\u00a0team left standing. The Wildcats have been exceptional on both ends of the court this season, and are\u00a0the only team aside from Kansas (whom they recently beat) and Virginia that\u2019s ranked in the top 10 in both adjusted offensive and defensive efficiency per KenPom.com<\/a>.<\/p>\nThe Wildcats also have the tools necessary to match-up well with whichever team comes out of the other Final Four matchup.<\/p>\n
If they face North Carolina in the title game, they\u2019ll have the decided edge in terms of long-range shooting. They also have a\u00a0towering presence in the paint with 6-11 Daniel Ochefu, who can battle with UNC\u2019s big men and minimize the damage the Tar Heels can do on the glass.<\/p>\n
And if they face Syracuse, they have the outstanding passing ability (16.2 assists per game) and consistent shooting needed to break\u00a0the Orange\u2019s patented 2-3 zone defense.<\/p>\n
Key stats<\/h3>\n
Three-point shooting has been big for Villanova in the tournament. The Cats shot a respectable\u00a035 percent from three during the season, but raised that up to 53 percent (33-of-62) over the first three rounds. They don\u2019t live and die by the three, though. They still beat Kansas despite shooting just 4-of-18 from beyond the arc.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, turnovers are a crucial part of their game on\u00a0defense. They\u2019ve forced turnovers in 18 percent of opponents\u2019 possessions on the season. During the tournament, they\u2019re grabbing nearly 14 turnovers per game, including 16 in a slow-paced game against Kansas.<\/p>\n
That lethal combination has gotten them this far, and it’ll be key in ultimately winning them the national title.<\/p>\n
