Villanova vs. Charleston 2016 final score: Wildcats dust up Cougars 63-47

Finishing up the last scheduled game of the Charleston Classic, Villanova reigned victorious against the College of Charleston, 63-47.

Starting without Kris Jenkins and facing the full-game absence of Phil Booth for their third consecutive game, the Wildcats remained decidedly undeterred with their lineup fluidity. Beginning the game with a forceful slam from the inside, redshirt sophomore guard Eric Paschall loudly foreshadowed his contribution to the game. With eight points, five rebounds, and three assists, Paschall was a clear playmaker for ‘Nova.

Charleston characterized its gameplay by taking their time when in possession of the ball, waiting to launch shots until the final seconds of the shot clock.
