CHICAGO — If Kansas, the No. 1 seed/champion of the 2022 Midwest Regional is to reach the NCAA title game, it’ll have to get past a familiar foe in Villanova, the No. 2 seed in the South Regional.
Villanova (30-7) defeated No. 5 seed Houston 50-44 Saturday in an Elite Eight game in San Antonio. The Wildcats have also defeated Michigan (63-55), Ohio State (71-61) and Delaware (80-60) in the NCAA Tournament this postseason.
Nova’s second-leading scorer, Justin Moore, suffered a right lower leg injury late in the Houston game and his status is unknown for the NCAA semifinal game vs KU on Saturday night in New Orleans, which will tip off at 5:09 p.m. Central and air on TBS. He was to undergo an MRI upon the team’s return from Texas to Philadelphia.
