Part 5/6:
The final quarter reignited Villanova's fighting spirit, as they found their rhythm and began converting three-point shots at a higher rate. As Matty Burke and the Wildcats rained down some long-range baskets, it seemed as though a comeback might be on the horizon. However, UConn’s earlier lead proved too substantial to overcome.
UConn maintained composure, executing their half-court offense effectively while starting players like Arnold penetrated the Villanova defense consistently. This allowed UConn to solidify their lead and close out the game with a sense of confidence.
