With Karl-Anthony Towns relegated a spectator due to a thumb injury, the Knicks' Villanova contingent had another sterling evening at Wells Fargo Center, as former Villanova Wildcats Mikal Bridges, Jalen Brunson, and Josh Hart each rose to the occasion in a 125-119 overtime victory over the Philadelphia 76ers.

There’s a reason “Let’s Go Knicks” chants echoed through Philadelphia’s Wells Fargo Center on Wednesday night. The arena, just 25 miles from Villanova University, felt like a home game for New York, fueled by fans embracing the local legends who once dominated the college scene.
