There was no Thanksgiving hangover after Villanova’s big overtime win against No. 14-ranked North Carolina and no need for leftovers, either.
The bucket buffet was open on Friday, and every Wildcat was eating in their 79-63 finals victory over Memphis. All five Wildcat starters scored in double figures and five different players made two or more 3-point shots in the winning effort.
With the win, Villanova is now 3-for-3 in the Bahamas. The Wildcats have won Battle 4 Atlantis titles in 2013, 2017 and 2023.
Villanova set the tone from opening tip, racing out to a 16-2 lead over the first 5:36 of action.
