With how well North Texas played defense against Purdue, Villanova will be hard-pressed to score in the second round. Purdue certainly did not play well, but credit is due for North Texas as they certainly belong in the next round.
North Texas’ next game’s odds will be interesting to see, as they are the underdog again. Let’s take a look.
North Texas vs. Villanova Odds
For the second round, North Texas will face Villanova. Villanova is the favorite, but North Texas has already beaten one prestigious NCAA basketball program.
Well, this is a major development: the winner of Villanova/Winthrop will face North Texas on Sunday for a trip to the Sweet 16. #MarchMadness
