Elite programs like Villanova basketball schedule “buy games” against programs like Columbia early in the season to warm up against easy teams. However, it backfired for the Wildcats on Wednesday, as they lost 90-80 to the Lions in the season-opener at home.

College basketball fans went wild on social media after the upset.

“Villanova loses a buy game to Columbia,” CBS Sports’ Jon Rothstein said. “The epitome of brutality.”

“I don't even think that was an upset,” Barstool Sports’ Max Dolente proclaimed. “Columbia is just genuinely a better basketball team than Villanova and it isn't remotely close. I'm starting to think they don't practice.”
