Villanova looks to regain their early season tournament success when they fly out to Portland this Thanksgiving weekend. From 2013-19, Villanova won six straight early-season tournaments. The Wildcats’ streak came to an end at the hands of Baylor in the 2019 Myrtle Beach Invitational finale.
They won the 2020 2K Classic in the bubble, but lost in last season’s Hall of Fame Tip-Off Classic.
When they land in Portland they’ll participating in their biggest early season tournament yet. Villanova will be in the Phil Knight Invitational as a part of PK85. PK85 is a series of early season tournaments celebrating Phil Knight’s 85th birthday.
