They downed St John’s (NY), #20 Connecticut and Creighton in a series of closely contested games to win it.

Houston Form
Houston wrapped up the regular season with a loss, but they have been on a tear since then.
The Cougars have won six straight games to clinch the AAC conference tournament and reach the Elite Eight of March Madness.
This streak started with a string of convincing wins to clinch the tournament crown – 69-56 against Cincinnati, 86-66 against Tulane and 71-53 against Memphis.
Houston followed that up with a routine 82-68 victory over UAB in round one of March Madness.
The defense then shut down #19 Illinois in a 68-53 win before holding #2 Arizona to just 53 points in a 72-60 victory.
Jamal Shead top-scored for Houston in the win over Arizona, scoring 21 points while dishing out six assists.
Kyler Edwards had 19 points and five rebounds, while Josh Carlton contributed 10 points and seven boards.

The Cougars are allowing 41.0% from the floor and giving up 59.0 points per game, ranking them third in the nation in both areas.
Verdict
It is hard to bet against a Houston team that are playing outstanding defense and are in great form.
Villanova have been inconsistent offensively at times, and that is likely to spell trouble for them here.
Spread – Houston -2.5 @ -110
