Dante Cunningham relishes first Villanova trip to Final Four since he played there

NEW YORK – Villanova University alums who attend one watch party in the Big Apple tonight for the school’s basketball game vs. Oklahoma may be a bit startled to see a familiar face from the Wildcats’ most recent appearance in the Final Four. With the New Orleans Pelicans in New York City this weekend to face the Brooklyn Nets on Sunday afternoon, Dante Cunningham – a starting forward for the 2009 Final Four team – will catch the NCAA national semifinal matchup just like everyone else who can’t make it to Houston, tuning in at a sports bar or restaurant.
