I think this is a difficult matchup for Villanova tonight. Houston is the best perimeter defending team that Nova will have see all season long, and that’s the strength of their offense. Where you can beat Houston is on the offensive boards and getting second chance points. The Cougars have a 2-3 record vs Top 20 OReb% teams in the country this season but a 24-2 record against teams outside the Top 50 in this statistic (Nova ranks #76). I believe the Wildcats will have a tough time generating easy buckets.
Nova on the other hand struggles against the Top 12 Adjusted Offensive Efficiency teams according to KenPom (0-3 record this season and Hou #8 in country) and hold a mediocre 5-5 record against the Top 70 teams in 2Pt efficiency (Houston #25).
Houston on the Money line to keep the train rolling to New Orleans!!
