Villanova came into Cincinnati on Saturday for a Big East showdown vs. Xavier. The defending regular season Big East champions, had Xavier right behind them in the standings. Last year during their National Championship season the Wildcats fell to the Musketeers in Cincinnati. Jay Wright the Wildcats coach, who graduated from Bucknell and got his heading coaching start at Hofstra, was one win shy of 500. Villanova not only was able to walk out of the Cintas Center with a victory. Coach Wright who started coaching Villanova in 2001, was able to gain his 500th victory. Saturday the NCAA for the 1st time announced their top 16 teams for the NCAA Tournament. Despite being ranked number 2 overall behind Gonzaga, the Wildcats currently sit as the number one overall seed of the tournament. Obviously nothing is etched in stone, their is plenty of basketball left to be played. Prior to anything being decided from a positioning standpoint, let alone a championship standpoint.
