It’s not often Villanova is an underdog like they are for Saturday’s meeting with Houston, but it does happen.
In 2010, No. 5 Butler took care of No. 2 Kansas State.In 1996, No. 5 Mississippi State upset No. 2 Cincinnati.“Houston is the classic example of a team who is underrated,” Garriock continued. “They destroyed a schedule that is relatively weak, with a scoring margin that is better than their record suggests.”Not surprisingly, “Mattress Mack” will place a wager on his hometown Cougars, who are trying to reach the Final Four for the second consecutive year.
He hadn’t decided his bets as of Friday afternoon, but was gearing up for a ride to Louisiana, the closest jurisdiction he can make a legalized sports wager. With the game being played in San Antonio, Villanova should expect a hostile environment, no matter how well their fans travel. “I was a little bit surprised that Houston’s favored,” McIngvale said. “[The TBS broadcasters] said the crowd was all Houston on Thursday, and that the Arizona coach turned around and tried to [invigorate] his fans on, but the Houston fans were drowning them out. That’s understandable given they’re 200 miles from us. It’ll probably be the same thing [Saturday].”The last time Villanova was not favored was Feb. 22 when they were 2-point ‘dogs and lost at Connecticut, 71-69, for a push.
