Villanova serenades Ryan Arcidiacono after clinching Final Four bid

Ryan Arcidiacono's 22nd birthday is one he'll probably never forget. The senior guard spent it in Louisville, guiding his Villanova squad to the program's only return to the Final Four since 2009.

To do so, the Wildcats first had to knock off No. 1 seed Kansas, which was no easy task. VU managed an early barrage by the Jayhawks and were able to lock them down on defense, ultimately clinching the South Region 64-59.
