Villanova won their last game against Alabama, 81-58 on Saturday, March 17th. Villanova's Mikal Bridges led his team to a win with a team-high 23 points. He went 7 for 16 from the field, shooting 43.8%. In 26 minutes, Mikal collected 23 points, 3 rebounds, 2 blocks and 5 threes with 1 turnover. Although Alabama was defeated, Collin Sexton fought to keep his team in the game with 17 points, shooting 50% from the field (making 7 of 14 attempts).

Prediction

Villanova is BennettRank's pick as the likely champion of the whole dang thing, so obviously they've built quite the resume over the regular season and have backed it up so far in the tournament.

Don't count out West Virginia, though, as the Mountaineers are playing lights out. I like them in the upset and see yet another one-seed go down.

West Virginia: 67
Villanova: 66
