NCAA Tournament Elite Eight betting preview and odds: Texas Tech vs. Villanova

The East Region wraps up Sunday afternoon with top seeded Villanova taking on Texas Tech. Villanova looks to advance to their second Final Four in three seasons, while Texas Tech is in the Elite Eight for the first time in school history.

(3) Texas Tech Red Raiders vs (1) Villanova Wildcats (-6.5, 144.5)

Villanova appears determined to shoot its way to the Final Four, while Texas Tech is employing an alternative strategy. The top-seeded Wildcats can secure their second Final Four berth in three seasons Sunday when they take on the third-seeded Red Raiders in the East Regional final in Boston.

The Wildcats shot 13-of-24 from 3-point range in Friday's 12-point win over West Virginia, improving the team to 47.8 percent from the arc in their three tournament wins. "The deeper you go, the better the teams are going to be," star guard Jalen Brunson said. "For us, most importantly, nothing changes no matter who we play, where we play, what time we play. We play every game like it's our last." While the Wildcats have made 44 3-pointers through three tournament games, the Red Raiders only have made 15 and are shooting just 31.3 percent from long range in this event, but will that percentage rate be enough against Villanova? "They've been the No. 1 team the whole season and are great all-around," Texas Tech guard Keenan Evans said after Friday's 78-65 win over Purdue in the Sweet 16. "They have a great point guard and great bigs that can shoot the ball, so we will just have to get back in the film room and study up on them and get some rest."

TV: 2:20 p.m. ET, CBS

LINE HISTORY: Villanova opened as 6.5-point favorites and heading into game day the line remained at the opening number. The total hit betting boards at 143 and was quickly up to 144.5.

BETTING STATS:

ABOUT TEXAS TECH: The Red Raiders rode a combined 45 points from Evans to first- and second-round wins, but the senior guard was limited to three field goals against Purdue, although he still scored 16 points to lead the team. Zach Smith added 14 points off the bench and is shooting 15-of-19 over the last four games, while freshman Zhaire Smith has registered double-digit points in all three Big Dance contests. Texas Tech, which is playing in the Elite Eight for the first time in school history, would love another big effort out of Justin Gray, who pitched in 12 points against Purdue, matching his second-highest total of the season.

ABOUT VILLANOVA: Brunson led the Wildcats with 27 points versus West Virginia, while freshman Omari Spellman registered 18 points and eight rebounds, not to mention three assists, three blocks and two steals. Brunson has made at least half his shots in six of the last seven games, while Mikal Bridges has done so in 11 of his last 12 games, and Bridges also carries a seven-game streak of draining at least 50 percent of his 3-pointers. Phil Booth, one of the stars from Villanova's national championship game victory two years ago, is just 2-of-11 from the field over the last two games and 5-of-20 over the last four contests.

MATCHUP CHART:

TRENDS:

* Texas Tech 0-4 ATS in their last 4 vs. Big East.
* Wildcats are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 NCAA Tournament games.
* Wildcats are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games overall.
* Over is 12-3 in Wildcats last 15 games following a straight up win.

NCAA Tournament Elite Eight betting preview and odds: Duke vs. Kansas

The Midwest Region wraps up Sunday to decide the last member of the 2018 Final Four. No surprises here as two of college basketball's biggest brands and the regions top seeded teams do battle.

(2) Duke Blue Devils vs (1) Kansas Jayhawks (+3, 154.5)

A wild NCAA Tournament gets back to normalcy on Sunday when two of college basketball's true blue bloods, Duke and Kansas, meet in the Midwest Regional final in Omaha, Neb. The No. 2 seeded Blue Devils and top-seeded Jayhawks have combined to win eight NCAA titles, including three of the last 10, and are two of the top four winningest programs in NCAA history.

After extending its record Big 12 regular-season title streak to 14, Kansas has advanced to the Elite Eight for the third straight year, jumping out to a 20-point lead early in the second half before holding off Clemson, 80-76, on Friday night. "I wanted to get back to this game so bad because I've been here the last two years, and hopefully we can get over the hump," said Big 12 Player of the Year Devonte' Graham referring to losses to eventual NCAA champion Villanova in 2016 (64-59) and Oregon (74-60 last year that denied the Jayhawks a 15th Final Four berth.) Duke will be trying to advance to the Final Four for the 17th time after grinding out a 69-65 victory over Syracuse and is back in the Elite Eight for the first time since 2015 when the Blue Devils went on to win their fifth NCAA championship. "I thought we were young for a lot of today," Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said after the Blue Devils shot just 39.3 percent, including 5-of-26 from 3-point range, and were outrebounded, 37-33, by the Orange. "We were so good in Pittsburgh (in the first two rounds), and hopefully what we did under pressure today will help us on Sunday against a great Kansas team."

TV: 5:05 p.m. ET, CBS

LINE HISTORY: Duke opened as 4-point favorites and money coming in on the Jayhawks saw that line drop to Blue Devils -3 heading into game day. The total hit the board at 155.5 and has been bet down slightly to 154.5.

BETTING STATS:

ABOUT DUKE: The Blue Devils are young, starting four freshmen, but don't feel too sorry for old Krzyzewski, who picked up his 1,100th career coaching victory and 94th career tournament win against Syracuse, both NCAA records. Two of the freshmen, 6-11 forward Marvin Bagley III (21.2 ppg, 11.1 rpg), who garnered ACC Player of the Year and Rookie of the Year honors, and 6-10 Wendell Carter Jr. (13.6 ppg, 9.3 rpg) are both both projected as top 10 draft picks, while guards Gary Trent Jr. (14.4 ppg) and Trevon Duval (10.0 ppg, 5.6 apg) are also considered potential first rounders. Senior guard Grayson Allen had 15 points and eight assists to lead Duke in Friday night's win but was just 3-of-14 from 3-point range and is also rated as a potential first round pick.

ABOUT KANSAS: The Jayhawks have made it this far despite the loss of five-star recruit Billy Preston to eligibility issues and 7-foot center Udoka Azubuike playing with a left knee brace to help support a MCL injury suffered in a March 6 practice that forced him to sit out the Big 12 Tournament and play just three minutes in a 76-60 opening-round win over Pennsylvania. The explosive Azubuike has averaged 12 points, nine rebounds and two blocks in the last two games while connecting on 11-of-14 shots despite limping noticeably at times, and his presence inside will be a key factor in trying to defend the imposing Duke front line of Bagley and Carter. The Jayhawks have the edge in the backcourt, however, led by Graham (17.3 ppg, 7.4 apg), senior Svi Mykhailiuk (14.8 ppg), sophomore Malik Newman (13.5 ppg, 4.9 rpg) and junior Lagerald Vick (12.1 ppg, 4.9 rpg), all excellent 3-point shooters who will test Duke's 2-3 zone.

MATCHUP CHART:

TRENDS:

* Jayhawks are 8-2-1 ATS in their last 11 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600.
* Over is 12-2 in Blue Devils last 14 non-conference games.
* Over is 6-1 in Jayhawks last 7 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600.
* Blue Devils are 1-4 ATS in the last 5 meetings.

CONSENSUS: Consensus data is showing 54 percent of bettors taking the underdog from Kansas Jayhawks, while 60 percent of totals wagers are on the Over.

NCAA Tournament's biggest betting mismatches: Elite Eight

Monty Andrews

What could be the difference in the Midwest final between Kansas and Duke? Free Throws. Teams average just 10.3 made foul shots on 14.2 attempts against the Blue Devils - both top-10 in the nation.

East Region

No. 3 Texas Tech Red Raiders vs. No. 1 Villanova Wildcats (-6.5, 144.5)

Texas Tech's weak outside game vs. Villanova's insane 3-point attack

Texas Tech is in the Elite Eight for the first time in school history - but getting one round further will be a daunting task as the third-seeded Red Raiders face the No. 1 Villanova Wildcats in the East Region final Sunday night at TD Garden in Boston. The Red Raiders earned their first-ever trip to the fourth round of the NCAA Tournament despite struggling from beyond the arc in a 78-65 win over Purdue on Friday - and a similar performance from 3-point range Sunday will almost certainly mean defeat.

It isn't that Texas Tech is a poor shooting team from long distance; the Red Raiders rank just outside the top 100 nationally in 3-point success rate at 36.2 percent. But the Red Raiders just don't take that many 3s - their 18.9 attempts per game ranks just inside the top 300 in Division I, while their 6.9 makes per contest are good for 247th overall. And those numbers are actually lower so far in the tournament, with Texas Tech averaging just five made 3-pointers on 16 attempts through its first three games.

The Red Raiders will have a difficult time keeping pace with the ever-dangerous Wildcats if that shooting trend continues. Villanova enters the weekend ranked 10th in the nation in 3-point success rate at 40.5 percent - and loves to launch those long-range shots, having taken the third-most shots from distance of any team in the country (1,067). And the Wildcats are heating up from 3, hitting 13-of-24 attempts last time out against West Virginia. Look for Villanova to exploit this mismatch all night long.

Midwest Region

No. 2 Duke Blue Devils vs. No. 1 Kansas Jayhawks (+3.5, 155.5)

Duke's aversion to fouls vs. Kansas's infrequent visits to the line

The Midwest Region boasts the only 1-vs.-2 Elite Eight matchup - and oddsmakers are leaning toward the lower seed as the No. 2 Duke Blue Devils tangle with the top-seeded Kansas Jayhawks. It's hard to argue with the odds, given that the Blue Devils were so dominant through the opening two rounds before holding on to beat a plucky Syracuse team Friday. And they have a significant edge over the Jayhawks when it comes to limiting trips to the free-throw line - an advantage that could decide this one.

The Blue Devils are a dangerous team, evidenced by the fact that they beat Iona and Rhode Island by a combined 47 points over the opening weekend of March Madness. But they showed what makes them a true title threat in their 69-65 win over the Orange, a game in which they were outshot by nearly 10 percent from the field but held Syracuse to 11 free-throw makes on 17 attempts (Duke went 20-for-28 from the line.) Teams average just 10.3 made foul shots on 14.2 attempts - both top-10 in the nation.

The last two victories didn't come easy for the Jayhawks, who roll into the Elite Eight following four-point wins over No. 8 Seton Hall and No. 5 Clemson. And they prevailed despite shooting below 70 percent from the free-throw line in both. While Kansas hasn't had much trouble getting to the line in the tournament, it averages just 11.5 makes on 16.3 attempts to date - both ranking outside the top 300 nationally. And with Duke so stingy when it comes to allowing free throws, the Jayhawks have some work to do.
