Since losing to Penn 11 days ago, Villanova has reeled off four straight wins: Dominant wins over Maryland, Texas Tech and Memphis, and a 83-81 victory over North Carolina. Wildcats have a lot of guys who can hurt you.

After Memphis went on a 17-0 run, the Tigers were still down 18 points to Villanova.
Nova 59, Memphis 29 w/ 10:48 left in game
Villanova is just schooling Memphis.
when nova lead Maryland, 46-17, thought it might be a fluke. But Cats limited Memphis to 4 for 27, 16 points in first half. total domination.
villanova is becoming a suffocating defensive team before our very eyes. expect cats to make huge move up the AP poll next week if this continues. Memphis seems mystified . cats lead 44-16.
Villanova: not tuckered out from that overtime win yesterday, apparently. They're up ... 28 (!) ... at the half against Memphis. Extrapolating the heat Hubert faced after losing by two in OT yesterday, I'd make sure Penny Hardaway had some good security here.
Halftime in the Battle 4 Atlantis title game: Villanova 44-16 over Memphis. Tigers have it 7 of 9 FTs. But...they are 1 of 12 from deep and 4 of 27 overall.
Villanova up by *28* at the half against Memphis in the Battle 4 Atlantis title game. Have watched enough of Nova this week to know: Kyle Neptune has no excuses this year. Nova has Top 10 talent in the sport. Period.
HALF: Villanova 44, Memphis 16 Yikes.
College Basketball is the best because Villanova is currently up 30 points on an undefeated Memphis team yet lost to Penn in The Palestra last Monday night
Nova absolutely just pouring it on now. It was already ugly, but Cats just went on a 12-0 run over past 3 min. Nova 44, Memphis 14 w/ 26 secs left in 1st half
Villanova steamrolling Memphis on its way to Battle 4 Atlantis title. Seton Hall and Butler appear better than projected. Marquette and UConn are wagons. Big East is going to be ridiculous this year.
Unbeaten Memphis is playing once-beaten Villanova in the Bahamas. Memphis is 1 of 10 from deep and 4 of 22 overall and trails, 32-12, with 3:59 left in the first half.
Villanova has already hit 5 3’s in the first 6 minutes. Wildcats moving the ball and getting uncontested looks. Villanova 16, Memphis 2
Jeez. Nova rips off 9-0 run over past 2:47. Hits three straight 3s. Penny calls TO. Nova 16, Memphis 2 w/ 14:15 left in 1st half
Nova 7, Memphis 2 w/ 15:57 to go in 1st half Wildcats started game by making 2 of their first 3 shots but now have missed their last 4 FGs. Tigers have also missed their last 4 and are on 2-min scoring drought.
Jayden Hardaway first off bench for Tigers. In for Mills at 17-min mark of 1st half. Nova 7, Memphis 2 w/ 17:02 left in 1st half
For one last time from Paradise Island, let’s hoop. Memphis-Nova for the Battle 4 Atlantis title. https://t.co/k0DC5gbHl1
