Villanova lost yesterday to St. Mary's in the Second Round. The Wildcats had been struggling for weeks and their problems finally caught up to them in an elimination game. I thought that the scare against Robert Morris in the First Round might energize them to fix their problems and get it together. But it didn't happen. And while for Nova's sake Kansas lost yesterday as well, taking the national spotlight away from them. The spotlight is still very much on them though in Philadelphia. Temple lost to Cornell, but Cornell is a very excellent team and Temple had a great season winning the A-10 tournament. Expectations are higher for Villanova and Scottie Reynolds ended his career in a manner no one would have predicted if you asked them at the start of the season.
Villanova will lose Scottie Reynolds and Reggie Redding, two great players that contributed a lot to the Wildcats. In a future post though I'll highlight why I think Villanova will be even better next year.
Hint: Corey and big men.
For now enjoy the tournament and root for the team of your choosing. Enjoy the John Wall show while it lasts. I'll be rooting for Ohio State and West Virginia.
