Kansas started the FinalFour game on 10-0 run and never looked back despite several fight backs from Jay Wright's Villanova veteran group. Here's how the game went:
NEW ORLEANS — Jermaine Samuels slung an arm around Collin Gillespie’s shoulder, their era of extended Villanova hoops over, careers stretched to five seasons, a last season extended to the Final Four.
This wasn’t some Cinderella 2021-22 ride to the Final Four by Villanova. This was a tough, veteran bunch, who without injured star Justin Moore, proved their toughness again inside the Superdome, drawing within range after falling behind by as much as 19, forcing Kansas to re-prove itself, which Kansas fully did.
Mark it down as prophecy, until a late first-half 10-0 run fueled by Gillespie breathed some life into the Wildcats just before halftime. Prior to that, it looked like it was going to be a total replay of that 2018 semifinal, when Villanova led the Jayhawks at the break, 47-32 . Moore had wheeled into what they call a “breakout room” two hours before game time, telling reporters about how when he fell last week at the end of the Houston game.
Much later, after Villanova drew within seven with just under 13 minutes to play after a couple of made threes by Daniels and Slater, how would Kansas respond? Like a top seed that deserved it. The Jayhawks scored on their next four possessions, inside off an offensive rebound, hitting two threes, and then a Jalen Wilson layup drawing the lead back up to 62-50.
