Very entertaining game, surely a crazy one. Big win for Villanova though.

Tre Caroll doing Tre Caroll things

Every Xavier game I’ve watched this year has pretty much been the same thing. They play extremely well against a team they shouldn’t be able to beat on paper, then they proceed to spend their final few possessions of the gaming peeing down their legs. Still happy to escape the looking ahead to UConn game with a W

What a freaking game

Villanova survives Xavier in OT

Villanova only has 5 losses.

Tre Carroll sends Xavier to OT on a last second lay! Villanova ends up surviving the Musketeers in OT! Huge for their Big East seeding & metrics

This was a really great overtime game that featured a gritty dub for Villanova!

@underwoodforheisman

Our Villanova win just gets better and better..

Malachi Palmer is a flame thrower gritty OT win on the road!

Good hoops man. Xavier almost vaulted with a win here but some mistakes got them the L. I will not say anything more...

Partially Watched

Back and forth game late that Xavier was able to force the extra session with Tre Carroll going for 28 but Villanova was able to pull it out with Aceden Lewis Tyler Perkins and Bryce Lindsay scoring 21 17 and 15 respectively
