That’s Ryan Fannon, Villanova’s regular play by play guy (and not a student), on the call.
Meanwhile, Jay Wright knew the shot was going in when it was released. “Bang.”

He said in a postgame news conference he wasn’t sure if there was time left on the clock and figured he had to get his team ready to defend one more play, but we all know he’s just too cool to celebrate.
