The #3 Villanova Wildcats took the court Saturday evening looking ready to take down a Virginia Tech Hokies team that they set up a game with 36 hours earlier before departing Mohegan Sun and heading back to Philly.
Unfortunately, Virginia Tech had other plans, handing the Wildcats an 81-73 loss in overtime.
Collin Gillespie led Villanova with 25 points, as he was the only Wildcat to find consistency on offense throughout the game, something he struggled with over Villanova’s first two games.
Villanova’s consistency issues proved problematic Saturday evening, as the Wildcats couldn’t seem to hold a lead, allowing Virginia Tech threes any time it seemed that ‘Nova was on the verge of pulling away.
