The National Championship Game is finally here. The Villanova Wildcats and the Michigan Wolverines will meet in San Antonio, TX on Monday, April 2nd, 2018 at 9:25 PM ET. The game for all the marbles will be aired for national audiences on TBS. The two teams met once in 2014 where Villanova edged out the Maize and Blue by a score of 60-55.
Michigan comes in off a dominant win against this tournament’s Cinderella team, Loyola-Chicago. Previous to this, the Wolverines laid waste to every opponent they have virtually come across. The same can be said for the Wildcats. For Villanova, the Wildcats dominated the Kansas Jayhawks in their Final Four contest. The final was 95-79, and the result in itself is bound to sound ripples across the betting word given the quality of the opponent in question.
