About This Game
Kansas turned the New Orleans night into a three-point clinic, launching an offensive assault that Villanova's defense simply couldn't withstand. The Jayhawks' hot shooting from beyond the arc proved devastating—13 made threes provided the foundation for their 81-65 Final Four victory. Villanova dug themselves into an early 19-point hole, and while the Wildcats showcased resilience in the second half, cutting the deficit to just six points, Kansas' combination of perimeter precision and interior dominance proved too much to overcome.
The Jayhawks controlled the glass and the paint, where David McCormack's powerful presence yielded 25 points, while Kansas' four blocks compared to Villanova's zero told the story of who owned the interior. For all of Villanova's fight and the dramatic second-half momentum swing, Kansas' balanced attack—anchored by their scorching three-point percentage and paint superiority—proved insurmountable. This semifinal matchup is now immortalized as a Gameprint, allowing fans to visualize every possession of Kansas' methodical offensive dismantling.
Game highlights: Kansas' 13 three-pointers set the tempo, McCormack's 25 interior points dominated the paint, Villanova rallied from 19 down to cut it to six in the second half, Kansas' 36-28 rebounding advantage controlled the glass, Jayhawks' defensive wall registered four blocks to Villanova's zero
