Villanova is back in the Battle 4 Atlantis, and not only is it hoping for a better showing in a Feast Week tournament after going winless in last season’s PK85, but it’s also aiming to go 3-for-3 down in the Bahamas.
The Wildcats are making their third appearance in the Battle 4 Atlantis, previously winning the tournament in 2013 and 2017.
The 2013 victory relaunched them into the national top 25, after being absent in the AP poll for a couple of years. They stunned the highly-touted Andrew Wiggins, Joel Embiid and Kansas Jayhawks in the semifinals, before outlasting Iowa in an overtime title game.
