The ‘Nova fans apparently aren’t the only people who like our draw. In fact, I guess it’s become so obvious that we have one of the best draws in the tournament that I’ve read several people who think we’re not just a darkhorse to win our region, but possibly even a favorite? Did I just say that?
- Pat Forde’s pre-tournament Forde Minutes discusses a lot of different things about the tourney, but he names Villanova as one of 9 teams that can win it all.
- Dana O’Neil discusses what happened the last time the Big East looked this dominant entering the tournament. If Villanova wants history to repeat though, they’ll have to do it as a more well-known commodity.
- Gregg Doyel covers the East Region for CBSSports. He thinks Villanova will win the region, although he says Dante Cunningham was “awful” as a freshman. Not sure I’d use that word to describe a guy who was the 6th or 7th man on an Elite Eight team.
- Rich Hofmann of the Philadelphia Daily News says Villanova is the model of consistency. Jay Wright told the ‘Nova faithful last night to “never let this feeling get old.”
- In this video, CBSSports’ Gary Parrish discusses the East Region. He defends Villanova playing at home, which the host calls “unfair” (what?). He then goes on to pick Duke though, so screw you Gary.
I’ve got some class, but then we begin researching American.
