The experts seem to be sleeping on Villanova as it tries to become the first repeat NCAA champions since Florida. That's a mistake. This team is better than a season ago, and Josh Hart is completing a legacy as one of the greatest college basketball players this century. The Wildcats advance easily. Villanova 97, Mount St. Mary's 59.
Remember: One year ago, UNC-Wilmington led Duke by three at halftime before faltering in a respectable eight-point loss. This Seahawks team is better, and while good defensively, Virginia struggles to score the ball.
