Wow – the Villanova Wildcats came out ready to show they were the number one team in the country. Before Kansas could even know what hit them, Villanova jumped out to a 22-4 lead and never looked back. Eric Paschall scored 24 points and Jalen Brunson scored 18, as the two juniors led the Wildcats to a 95-79 victory.
Villanova tied the record for most three pointers in a Final Four by the end of the first half with 13 of them. The Wildcats would finish the game with a record breaking 18 threes.
Congratulations to the Big East Champions, Villanova Wildcats who have moved one step closer to a National Championship. Only one game left – it will be the Villanova Wildcats and the Michigan Wolverines playing for the right to cut down the nets while One Shining Moment plays in the background.
