On Wednesday night, the top ranked Villanova Wildcats took on, fellow Big 5 member and historic rival, Temple Owls. Temple was coming off five straight wins and had knocked off three top 25 opponents this year. Although the Wildcats enter the matchup boasting a number one AP ranking and were riding a five game winning streak, most ESPN college basketball analysts and local Philadelphia media reporters were flagging this game as an upset alert. Besides the upset storyline, there was a subliminal storyline as well. Highly touted freshman guard, Jalen Brunson, was facing his father’s, Rick Brunson’s, alma mater.
