The Texas Tech vs. Villanova betting odds had the Wildcats as a -6.5 favorite. SCROLL DOWN FOR MORE
The Red Raiders are in the Elite Eight for the first time.
Getting past top-seeded Villanova on Sunday in the NCAA Tournament East Region final at TD Garden won't be easy though.
“I told the guys, when you continue to advance in the tournament, you’re just going to continue to play the best teams in the country, and that’s certainly our opinion of Villanova,” Red Raiders coach Chris Beard said at Saturday’s off-day media conference.
“Just being a basketball guy, they’re a team I’m familiar with because I try to watch them whenever they’re on TV at night. Just love the way they play. A lot of things we do defensively, we’ve taken from Villanova, in terms of switching and playing versatile players.”
Villanova is the odds-on favorite to win the Championship at 11/5. Texas Tech would still pay out $1200 for every $100 bet with a Championship victory.
