SAN ANTONIO — You just never know which weapon it's going to be.

Donte DiVincenzo had the game of his life, scoring 13 of his season-high 31 points during the second half, and Villanova rolled to its second national championship in three seasons by topping Michigan, 79-62, at the Alamodome on Monday night.

Michigan got off to a strong start in the game, but didn’t have the muscle to stick with the Wildcats. 

Despite Associated Press Player of the Year Jalen Brunson missing a long stretch of the second half in foul trouble and going more than 18 minutes without making a shot in the first half, Villanova continued its dominant run through the tournament field.

DiVincenzo was hot early and stayed that way, going 10-for-15 from the field, including 5-for-7 from 3-point range. 

After hitting a Final Four-record 18 3-pointers on Saturday, the Wildcats were 10-for-27 from long distance against Michigan.

Michael Bridges had 19 for Villanova. Brunson added 9. Eric Paschall was held scoreless in the first half and finished with 6.

Muhammad-Ali Abdur-Rahkman had 23 for Michigan. Moe Wagner added 16.
