Villanova Set To Defend Tournament Title
Villanova Celebrates 2015 Tournament TitleWhen top-seeded Villanova rolls into Madison Square Garden for the BIG EAST Tournament this week, the Wildcats will be coming in as the top seed for the third straight year and will be coming off their third consecutive 16-win conference season.
As if the Wildcats haven't accomplished enough in the past three seasons there is one more feat they will hope to add to their incredible BIG EAST run as they look to become just the fourth team in BIG EAST history to win back-to-back BIG EAST Tournament crowns. The only others to accomplish that was Georgetown (1984, 985), UConn (1998, 1999), Syracuse (2005, 2006) and Louisville (2012, 2013).
