Another year, another chance for Villanova to grab a November title — some things never change.
Villanova will face off against the Arizona State Sun Devils for the 2K Empire Sports Classic final on Thanksgiving Day at 9:30 pm at the Mohegan Sun resort. The Sun Devils defeated Rhode Island 94-88 in a high-scoring first round game, while Villanova was able to rally late to defeat Boston College, 76-67.
This will be Jay Wright’s first ever game against Arizona State, and Villanova’s second ever. Their only other game against Arizona State came in 1993, a 73-62 loss.
