Kansas vs Villanova Final 4 Matchup

The Jayhawks and the Wildcats are both blue bloods in the college basketball world, and both have played terrific basketball this tournament to get here. Outside of a tight game with Duke, both teams cruised through their previous rounds thanks to being adept shooting teams, ranking in the top 10 in EFG and 2 point shooting percentages.  Neither team is really great at generating free throws, ranking just in the top 90 or so in Free throw rate, but the Wildcats still manage to rank number one in offensive Efficiency.  KU was a much swingier team going through this season, and the program hasn't liked them all tournament.  I think this game will be close, but if Nova can ump out a bit they should be able to advance.
