Kansas takes its annual pre Christmas trip this weekend, and this year the opponent is a bit more robust than in years past. Villanova comes in with an interesting profile: they rank 19th in KenPom, and are seemingly built to beat a team like Kansas, but they’ve lost badly to the only two KenPom top 50 teams they have played this year.
As has been somewhat the norm for Villanova the last few years, the Wildcats thrive on taking more threes than their opponents. Villanova takes just under 43 percent of their shots from three, and limits opponents to taking just 35.
