Michigan’s Unstoppable Surge: What’s Fueling the Explosive Growth?
Villanova has a nice record at 7-1, but they are not yet ranked in the nation. I do think they have a good opportunity to become ranked, and obviously beating the second-ranked team in the nation would go a long way. The majority of the reason that Villanova isn’t ranked is that they haven’t really beaten anyone this season. Their opening game of the year was against BYU and they dropped that game 71-66. BYU has one of the best players in the nation, and the team is pretty good overall, so the loss is fairly understandable. Their other seven wins have been against mostly mid-tier schools that will likely not have any chance of making the Big Dance later in the year. They have won all seven of those games by at least 10 points. Now they have a true test before they start playing against conference opponents. Villanova is mostly dominated by their guards. Their two leading scorers, Bryce Lindsay and Acaden Lewis, are combining for about 40% of their points per game this season.
