An epic battle in Philadelphia ensued Sunday afternoon and it was the Friars who came out on top.
Snow blitzed Philadelphia and much of the MId-Atlantic region this past weekend, so Villanova and Providence had to wait 24 extra hours before they would square off at the Wells Fargo Center. We're not sure if any snow day activities occurred but in the immortal words of Hoku, that's alright, and that's okay.
The delay didn't cause Providence and Villanova to have their basketball-ing abilities to be sapped. Quite the contrary. The Friars and Wildcats brought the goods on Sunday afternoon as a neat appetizer for Championship Sunday and/or the Royal Rumble - or perhaps it was the main course for your Sunday brunch.
