The Wildcats set the Final Four record for 3-pointers made in a game en route to a 95-79 win over Kansas and a spot in Monday's national championship game against Michigan. Villanova tied the record in the first half and broke it within the first minute of the second half. They finished with 18 made 3-pointers.
So, historic, absolutely.
But here's the best part: it wasn't even Villanova's best shooting game this month.
Villanova has already shot a better percentage from behind the arc twice in the NCAA tournament. The Wildcats went 14-for-27 (51.9 percent) from 3-point range against Radford in the first round and then went for 13-for-24 (54.2 percent) against West Virginia in the Sweet 16. They also made 17 3-pointers they made against Alabama in the second round.
In other words: while it might have been historic, it wasn't that far out of the ordinary for Villanova.
This is what the Wildcats do.
