Villanova vs Kansas Total
| Team | Opening Total | Current Total | Bets% | Handle% |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Villanova | O 131.5 | O 132.5 | 54% | 55% |
| Kansas | U 131.5 | U 132.5 | 46% | 45% |
The public likes the over, and it's hard to blame them. The 132.5 number is significantly lower than the 151.5 in UNC vs Duke. Ironically, Kansas has gone under in three of their four games while Nova has gone over the total four times. Bettors are keeping with Villanova's trend, and that's where I find myself leaning in this game as well.
