Villanova- Oklahoma Final Four Game


 Earlier in the season, Villanova played Oklahoma in December in Hawaii for the Pearl Harbor Classic. Oklahoma rolled over Villanova beating them 78 to 55, even with Buddy Hield only having 18 points. However, both of these teams have changed since the last time they met in December. Buddy Hield has been playing extraordinary well. Villanova has learned to play as a complete team with the inside out play. Both teams at one point in the season were ranked #1.

This NCAA tournament Buddy Hield has been averaging 29.3 points per game. Hield has been playing like he possessed and no one can stop him. Oklahoma offense has been averaging 81 points per game throughout the tournament. However, Villanova defense in the NCAA tournament has only allowed 63 points a game against them throughout the tournament. So, basically, will see if the offensive juggernaut Buddy Hield can score against the stifling Jay Wright Villanova's defense.

The keys for Villanova to winning this final four matchup continue to shoot the three-point shot at 46%. The second key is to make someone else other then Buddy Hield beat you. The third key for Villanova to win continue to feed Daniel Ochefu in the post. The first key to Oklahoma winning this final four matchup is obvious get Buddy Hield the ball. The second key is somebody else has to score to complement Buddy Hield scoring whether it be Isaiah Cousins or Jordan Woodard. The third key is don't get down to the extent where you have to full court press a four guard run offense. Oklahoma can ask Miami how it worked out for them when then full court pressed Villanova in the elite 8 the score got worse for them before it got better.
