Kansas comes in off an overtime win against Duke where we saw KU placed as an underdog. For Villanova, the Wildcats dominated the Texas Tech Red Raiders by a score of 71-59 in the Elite Eight. The outcome of Nova’s play against a fellow Big 12 team is more than likely geared to drive the behavior in this market.

Villanova Wildcats vs. Kansas Jayhawks Prediction 03/31/2018
Targeting overreactions is a big part of our practice. After Kansas defeated Duke in what is nothing short of an instant classic, the public is bound to get aboard the Rock Chalk express. However, hard-fought overtime wins often set up teams for considerable let-downs in their follow-up. In KU's case, this could not have come against a tougher opponent. The Wildcats own advantages in every statistical department, excluding the bench. The Jayhawks are set up to be dominated on both sides of the court and also be outmuscled on the glass by Nova's frontcourt. Villanova has won nine straight games and looked every bit of what we look for in a tournament champion. The price is right for Nova here to cover big.
