The Michigan Wolverines and the Villanova Wildcats will meet in the South Region Sweet 16 game. The Wolverines are coming off a win over the Tennessee Volunteers. The Villanova Wildcats took care of the Ohio State Buckeyes. Villanova has the 49th best overall three-point shooting percentage and the number one free throw shooting percentage. The Wildcats have won seven straight games. They have averaged more than 72 points a game while making 44 percent of their shots and 36 percent of their three-pointers. The Wolverines have given up 70 points or more in six of their last nine games. Michigan has an edge in the paint and usually does but has failed to take advantage of it off the offensive glass in recent games. I think Michigan will use their size to keep this one close early but I look for Nova to pull away late to get the win and cover.

Play on Villanova. This is an 8* play.
