Wildcat Wildcard

For a city that just a few weeks ago was pondering whether all the local teams would be shut out of the NCAA tournament, last night’s news couldn’t have been better, or more surprising. Temple, St. Joes, AND Villanova all got in.

 

Though I have to wonder if it would have been better if ‘Nova didn't make it. What is the point of one and done other than to say you got into the main event when they could have gone to the NIT and won a bunch of games, maybe even made the final and got a whole lot more experience than just to go and likely lose to Clemson Friday.

 

Though, having said that, i am glad they got seeded 12th. Villanova could win that game, and given the history of at least one 12 seed winning each year, there is even more hope.

 

BTW, Jay Bilas during the G'town-Nova game said he thought Nova was in and would be an 8-9 team. Looks like Villanova made it in by the skin of their teeth.
