REIGNOver the past four seasons, Villanova is 25-0 in

Toulon were made to work hard by Scarlets as they recorded a 31-20 bonus-point win to keep up the pressure on Saracens in Pool 3 of the European Champions Cup.Mike Fords side were heavy favourites to return to winning ways after being beaten by Saracens in their last home Champions Cup encounter and they did exactly that as Mamuka Gorgodze, Leigh Halfpenny and Romain Taofifenua all scored before the break.Ken Owens responded for the Welsh side, but Guilhem Guirado scored Toulons crucial fourth try at the start of the second half.Wales full-back Halfpenny was inch-perfect from the tee with 11 points as the Scarlets returned home pointless despite John Barclays late effort.It didnt take long for the French giants to move ahead, their first try coming within five minutes after a powerful burst from Mathieu Bastareaud saw the giant centre break clear and, although he was stopped just short of the line, Gorgodze dived over from the next ruck.Halfpenny converted and then exchanged penalties with Rhys Patchell to make it 10-3, but it was still Toulon who were the dominant force, especially at the contact area.The Welsh side remained keen to move their opposition around the field though, spreading the ball wide at almost every opportunity and a second Patchell penalty narrowed the gap to four.Toulons lead was soon extended as yet another powerful Bastareaud carry allowed Halfpenny to sprint in and score and Taiofifenua reached for the line to add a third.Halfpenny converted both tries and while Owens scored just before the break from close range, Toulon still turned around 24-13 ahead.Home fly-half Pierre Bernard, an impressive figure in the first period, got the game restarted but it was the visitors who began the second half the better.Hadleigh Parkes put the Scarlets on the front foot, before a floated pass from Scott Williams put Steffan Evans over in the corner.But referee Alex Ruiz, via the TMO, decided Williams had knocked on before finding Evans and the score was ruled out.The decision looked touch and go, and it proved to be the crucial moment.Instead of scoring their second try, the Scarlets promptly conceded their fourth at the other end.Guirado emerged from a huge line-out surge with the ball and when Halfpenny nailed the touchline conversion, the game was up.Both sides rung the changes midway through the second period and the final quarter saw the game flow from end-to-end as the Scarlets refused to fold.Wayne Pivacs men actually had more of the ball and Taiofifenua saw yellow for dragging down a maul, allowing Barclay to score what was in the end a late consolation.

VILLANOVA, Pa. -- Jay Wright and his Villanova players are ready to enjoy Thanksgiving and take a much-needed break from basketball.Josh Hart had 13 points and 11 rebounds, Kris Jenkins scored 11 points and No. 2 Villanova knocked off feisty College of Charleston 63-47 on Wednesday night.The Wildcats improved to 6-0 a season after winning the national championship but struggled to put away the overmatched Cougars in their fourth game in seven days and their sixth in 13.It was not a pretty game, Wright said. We just found a way to gut it out.Mikal Bridges and Eric Paschall added eight points and five rebounds apiece for the Wildcats, who shot just 5 for 17 from 3-point range and 8 for 22 from the field in the second half.Jarrell Brantley led Charleston with 18 points and seven rebounds. The Cougars shot 4 for 22 from 3-point range and committed 14 turnovers.Its a good way to learn, Brantley said. Theyre a really good team and do a lot of things right. It will only help.Jenkins, who famously hit the title-winning shot to beat North Carolina at the buzzer last April, was held out of the starting lineup by Wright because he missed a class. But the senior forward came in just 3 minutes into the game and played 28 minutes, shooting 4 for 7 from the field.Hart, who won MVP of the 2016 Gildan Charleston Classic after leading the Wildcats to the tournament title on Sunday, also shot 4 for 7 from the field and 2 for 3 from 3-point range.He was called back into the game in the final minutes after Wright admitted to putting his walk-ons in too early -- not that it bothered the teams star senior.Im not really worried about minutes, said Hart, a Wooden Award candidate. Id love to play the whole game if the coach lets me.BIG PICTURECharleston: After starting a season with three straight wins for the first time since 2011-12, the Cougars have dropped three in a row to fall back to .500. But they will have some easier games coming up before entering play in the Colonial Athletic Association, where they were picked to fiinish fourth.ddddddddddddVillanova: The defending national champs continued to roll through the early portion of their schedule. Four of their next five games come against Philadelphia Big 5 rivals, where the competition is always heated, with a marquee matchup vs. Notre Dame sandwiched in between.ULTIMATE CHALLENGEAlthough the Cougars left town with a loss, Charleston coach Earl Grant felt the game was, in many ways, a win-win for his program.My thought process coming into this game is its the ultimate challenge, Grant said. You get to play against the best team in college basketball. They won the championship last year and until someone beats them this year theyre still the champion. . We knew it would be hard but I think, at this time of year, hard things are good.NOVEMBER REIGNOver the past four seasons, Villanova is 25-0 in the month of November and have claimed four tournament championships in the month, including their recent run through the Gildan Charleston Classic.Wednesdays game was technically Villanovas fourth victory of the Charleston Classic -- after wins over Western Michigan, Wake Forest and UCF at TD Arena -- but the result didnt factor into the bracket.NO BOOTH, NO PROBLEM (FOR NOW)Phil Booth missed his third straight game for Villanova with left knee inflammation. But Wright said the injury is minor and hes eager to get one of his top guards back after the Thanksgiving break.I thought we held up pretty well, Wright said of his teams grueling stretch. If we werent getting Phil Booth back, I think Id be more concerned.POLL IMPLICATIONSAfter moving up a spot to No. 2 this week, Villanova figures to stay there behind top-ranked Kentucky barring any major upsets.UP NEXTCharleston aims to snap its three-game losing streak when it hosts USC Upstate on Sunday.Villanova will look for a record 15th straight Big 5 win against Penn at the historic Palestra on Tuesday.
