The Villanova Wildcats (34-4) entered the 2018 NCAA Tournament ranked second in the country by pollsters but as the favorites at sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark.com to cut down the nets for the second time in three years.
The East Region champion Wildcats hope to move one step closer to that goal Saturday when they take on the Midwest's Kansas Jayhawks (31-7) as 5-point betting favorites in a Final Four matchup between the only two top seeds that made it past the first four rounds of the Big Dance.
Villanova is the lone surviving team that has won each of its first four games by double digits, going a perfect 4-0 against the spread, according to the OddsShark College Basketball Database.
