Kansas takes on Villanova in a rematch of the 2016 Elite Eight, although only 5 players who played in that one will take part in this year’s matchup. Villanova brings the best offense in college basketball into this matchup, and they have improved all season defensively as well.
Offense
Villanova has the best offense in the country, and possibly the best offense in the KenPom era. They rarely turn it over (14th nationally) and rarely take bad shots (45th in number of 2-point jumpers).
The Wildcats take a ton of threes. A ton. 47.
