The Villanova Wildcats and Oklahoma Sooners certainly looks like the better game of the Final Four in Houston, but you wouldn't have expected that considering what happened when these teams met in Hawai'i in December. The Sooners shellacked the Wildcats by 23 points then, but both of these teams have come a long way since then.
