Both teams are undefeated in the first month of the 2015-16 college basketball season: Villanova sporting a 7-0 record and Oklahoma at 5-0 through the early going.
Oklahoma goes into its contest with Villanova with the nation’s fifth best scoring offense, averaging 88 points a game, but the fact that both teams rank in the top four in the country in field-goal percentage defense would indicate their game on Monday will be decided more by the play on the defensive end of the court.
The Sooners lead the country in field-goal percentage defense, limiting their five opponents to just 31-percent shooting from the field.
