Villanova's 2016 NCAA title team earns virtual bragging rights over 2018 counterpart

That still isn't clear. But bragging rights, for now, go to the 2016 squad after its 57-55 win over the 2018 team in a simulated video-game matchup on Monday. The 2016 squad, which recorded a 35-5 season punctuated by Kris Jenkins' miracle buzzer-beater to defeat North Carolina in the national title game, controlled the virtual matchup against the 2018 squad, which finished 36-4 and beat every team it faced in that year's NCAA tournament by double digits.
