This year's NCAA Men's Basketball Championship (aka March Madness) will pit powerhouse Villanova against the Michigan Wolverines. Thanks to their dominance in the tournament, the Wildcats will be one of the biggest betting favourites in the history of the final.
Villanova has been absolutely clobbering the competition so far in the tournament, as their "closest" game was a 12 point victory over Texas Tech. The school booked themselves a ticket to the finals after taking apart Kansas by a score of 95-79.
Michigan, on the other hand, had a bit more trouble in the Final Four, as they needed to come from behind to beat Loyola Chicago by a score of 69-57. Prior to that, Michigan had very close calls against both Houston and Florida State.
In short - the Wildcats look to be the much better team, though if anything has been proved during this year's "March Madness", it's that anything can happen and that no team is truly safe.
