Things certainly haven’t gone according to plan in the Bahamas this year. Nova has come out flat in both games, the difference in how the games have been called has been crazy, and both Purdue and Arizona were eliminated in the first round. But when you’re that close to the Bermuda triangle, what do you expect?
One thing that has gone as anticipated: Villanova is about to play for the Battle 4 Atlantis Championship. Their opponent will be the Northern Iowa Panthers, who eliminated NC State 64-60 earlier today. UNI is now 5-1, with their only loss coming at UNC in their season opener.
