VILLANOVA

ship game,” coach Jay Wright said.

The last team to win its two Final Four games by 16 or more: UCLA in 1968. During the dynasty.

One key question: Does Wright’s team belong on the list of the best of all-time?

Maybe so, considering the way Villanova dismantled everyone in front of it in a tournament that was dripping with upsets, underdogs and at least the appearance of parity.

Maybe so, considering the Wildcats won in seemingly every way imaginable. This victory came two nights after they set a Final Four record with 18 3-pointers, and one week after they relied more on defense in a win over Texas Tech in the Elite Eight. That debate’s for later.

Divincenzo squashed any questions about this game with a 10for-15 shooting night — 5 of 7 from 3 — that was really better than that, making him an easy winner for most outstanding player in the Final Four.

With Michigan refusing to go away

early in the second half, he opened his game-sealing run with an aroundthe-back dribble to get to the hoop and get fouled. On the other end, he delivered a two-handed rejection of Michigan’s Charles Matthews — his second block of the game — when Matthews tried to bring it into the paint.

“Blocked shots, definitely,” Divincenzo said when asked if he enjoys 3s or rejections more. “I pride myself on defense and just bringing energy to the team.”

The 3 that sealed it came from a big step behind the arc and gave Villanova a 62-44 lead with a bit less than eight minutes left.

About the only drama left was whether Divincenzo could unwrap himself from his teammates’ mob hug to toss the ball underhanded toward the scoreboard after the buzzer. He succeeded there, too.

Mikal Bridges finished with 19 in what could be his final audition for the NBA. Player of the Year Jalen Brunson was celebrating despite an off night — nine points and two rebounds. His struggles barely mattered.

What a couple months it’s been for Philly. First the Eagles. Now this. The Super Bowl, though, was a classic. This one was only beautiful to one team.

Michigan (33-8) came out playing tough-nosed defense it relied on over a 14-game winning streak that got the Wolverines to their second final in six years.

Moe Wagner scored 11 early points to continue his great play in the Final Four.

For the record, Divincenzo has no problem starting games on the bench.

He’s been willing to do whatever’s needed since he arrived in 2015. His season cut short because of a knee injury, he was healthy enough to run the scout squad for Villanova during its first title run. Some on the team said he did Oklahoma star Buddy Hield better than Hield.

But maybe a more apt comparison is to … Bill Walton and Kareem Abdul-jabbar?

Divincenzo joins them in the rare club of players to crack 30 points while also shooting better than 66 percent from the floor in a Final

Four game.
