Why is Kansas - Villanova So Low?

[pavyracer]

Villanova averages 86 points per game. Kansas will have to score in bunches to keep up.

The total they set it's too low. Villanova can't beat Kansas in a snooze fest.

Over is lock. Take it to the bank!!

[BIGDAY]

I didn't ask questions. I pounded it.

[t-wizzle]

Numbers spit out a pretty close to even matchup. Look at advanced stats.

[astro61200]

Because they both play good defense too.. not saying I wouldn't take the over, but KU holdes teams to 39.7% and VU holds teams to 40.4%

Over looks good for both games tomorrow night

[jjgold]

Paver are you sure about this play?

I am under pressure and need wins

[BuckyOne]

Let's not forget that there is only the one ball!

[cbiscuit]

Don't know what to think. Figured Kans- Mrlnd was an easy Over but didnt quite happen. Ks can clamp down, so can Vil if they have to. Dont see it alot couse they blow most teams out.

[will2survive]

I can only say one thing. Any game that Villanova plays in (and I know someone that goes there), the total is going to be low due to the fact that their defense is top-notch; plain and simple. Does it mean that they're better? No, but in order for Villanova to win, the tempo will be slow. Ryan Arcidiacono is the third best player on the team and has the knack of coming up big in big spots. he led the Wildcats last game and had like 10 points in the first 10 minutes. That won't happen here. I'm not going to say over or under. Just giving you my take on why the total is placed where it is.

Going to be a chess match. Two great teams, solid on both sides of the ball, great coaches, each team at the top of their game right now. Game of the week, no doubt! I'll take Villanova just cause you have to take the 2 points in a game this close. Game will be decided by 3 or less in my opinion.

[dozod]

Vegas betting Kansas can stop nova's 3PTs. Villanova shooting an insane 53.23% from 3PT this tournament. 62 3PT Attempts in 3 games! 3PT makes up 37% of Villanova's total score. Kansas holds opponents to 32.3% in 3PT. Kansas really good at closing in and taking care of perimeter. You stop the 3's, you stop nova. simple.

[chico2663]

ithink just opposite. i think for kansas to win they will take air out of the ball. i think this will be about 135 pace like they played baylor.

[BigDofBA]

Kansas plays a lot better defense than the teams Nova has lit up recently.

Nova won't break 80 in this game.

You're probably throwing away money on the over.

[jjgold]

Nova can win this one outright

[PorkChop]

Nova isn't cracking 80.

Kansas wins.

Telling you men, UNC vs Kansas collision course

[jjgold]

Porky get to Vegas and pound it

what does you knowing someone from Villanova have ANYTHING to do with your rambling nonsense analysis? seriously, what is wrong with you? tell me what is wrong with you

[slambam]

I'm on it too. I think it would be in the 150s. Close game with two good O's who are hot right now - it's hard to not like the over imo.

[Rambo]

heres reason enough to go the other way....

Ku/nova u 145 200

[jmunzz1116]

Was gonna go get my haircut...thinkin bout getting a faaaaaade.

[astro61200]

Nova isn't cracking 80.

Kansas wins.

KU better hope OU loses then.. it's extremely difficult to beat the same team 3 times in a season, especially when the first game was decided in triple OT and the other by 4

[Louisvillekid1]

Kansas wins.

Uva is cutting down the nets been saying it for a while now

[sweethook]

[No coincidences]

Stupid thread. Two top defensive teams. Do some of you even watch these games?

I know a guy that graduated from Nova.

i know a guy whose ringtone is Champagne Supernova by Oasis so it goes without saying who will cover this game tonight boys

[BigDofBA]

The answer is no.

Of course KU and Nova are going to score a ton of points when they blow out inferior competition.

With that said, this isn't that type of a game. They will D each other up. Neither team will get easy shots like they have against bad teams.

[pavyracer]

Play is official now.

Over 144.5

Lets get this done boys.

[l7ustin]

Nova 148 KU 144 after 7OTs.

You heard it here first

[19th Hole]

I know a guy that drives a Chevy Nova 3 speed.
He loves +3 and he's Under the hood all of the time.

But his mother is from Kansas and she's a spinner-winner.
