Eric Dixon’s big game helped Villanova squeak by the Tar Heels

The Thanksgiving matchup between UNC and Villanova was one of those games that we talk about in college basketball all the time: it was really fun for anybody without a rooting interest, and really frustrating if you were the loser. In this case, the Tar Heels struggled mightily when dealing with Villanova forward Eric Dixon, and ultimately it led to a 83-81 loss in overtime.

Let’s focus on the good first: UNC forward Harrison Ingram had himself a game against the Wildcats. In the first half alone, Ingram went 4 of 5 from the field, which was good enough to finish the half with 13 points and a pair of rebounds.
