Back in November, it was announced that the Villanova Wildcats would be spending Thanksgiving in Orlando in 2018. The ‘Cats will be the centerpiece of this year’s Advocare Invitational, one of the many early season tournaments around the country. Villanova has won five consecutive early season tournaments, and they haven’t lost a game in November since 2012. Suffice it to say, Nova was, is, and will be the favorite to win in Orlando.
But outside of a sixth consecutive Thanksgiving tournament title, there wasn’t a lot to get excited about. Honestly, I was more pumped about the prospect of a photo with two of my favorite people: Jay Wright and Mickey Mouse.
