During Villanova's run to the national title in 2016, the Wildcats relied heavily on a formula that called for a heavy dose of 3-point shooting.
In the NCAA tournament that year, the Wildcats shot an incredible 50 percent from deep and averaged 9.3 3-pointers per game. It's why they cut down the nets.
To no surprise, it has been more of the same since then. And for the most part, it has worked. The No. 3-ranked Wildcats were 55-6 since winning the title going into Wednesday's game at Providence and had made at least four 3-pointers in 83 straight games.
