Related Topics: Jalen Brunson

The Villanova Wildcats may have brought 600 fans with them to the Bahamas, but early on it looked like they had left their shooting back on the main land. Nova rallied to come back and win their opening round match-up of the Battle for Atlantis, topping the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers 66-58. Jalen Brunson led the team with 18 points, and seemed to be the only Wildcat who could score early on. Mikal Bridges didn’t stay silent long though, finishing with 17 points, 8 rebounds, 5 steals, 3 blocks, and 3 assists.
