AUDIO Villanova Ready For Hield, OU

The Final Four is set to tip off from Houston this weekend, and Jay Wright's Villanova Wildcats are ready to face a stiff challenge from the Oklahoma Sooners on Saturday.

Richard Hoffman, Sports Writer and Producer for PhillyVoice.com joined the Sam Bourquin Show to talk about how the Wildcats will prepare to stop sharpshooting guard Buddy Hield and the OU squad in their half of the bracket.

Hoffman says Villanova will have to guard the perimiter, not just Buddy.

"They (the Sooners) shoot a lot of threes, I think Villanova will give them a better game this time around,' said Hoffman/

Oklahoma won by 20 in their first meeting in December, but the Wildcats will have to put that in the rear view if they want to make it to the National Championship.

He says it's been an interesting ride for them and their fans up to this point and they've been playing solid ball, perhaps the best they've played all year.
