The Pavilion doesn’t quite look the way Mikal Bridges’ remembers during his heyday on Villanova’s campus, but no matter how much its been renovated or repainted, it still very much feels like home.
“It’s dope. Especially this, the new one,” Bridges said of the Pavilion. “Really upset I didn’t play here. I had one more year, I should’ve stayed, but it’s really cool to be back. I was excited for the game and to watch these boys play.”
Although he never played at the new-look Finn, he got to take center court for the first time as an alumnus.
