The Broncos entered the game coming off a loss to the Oakland Golden Grizzlies, in large part to a bad display of offense. That can be expected from a team with so many new faces. How they bounce back from performances like that will tell the tale of the season.
Both teams looked a little rattled to start. After a Tucker Haymond steal, Thomas Wilder hit the first points of the game with a three.
Villanova then went on a run, eventually pulling ahead 28-19. A large part of the run was the result of Western Michigan mishandling the ball.
