HOUSTON — After the Villanova Wildcats were embarrassed by the Oklahoma Sooners on Dec. 7, 2015 (78-55), it seemed as if head coach Jay Wright and his squad had a sour taste from the devastating loss. During the rematch on April 2 between the two teams in the final four round of the NCAA tournament, it was Oklahoma who would be embarrassed as they lost 95-51, which was the largest margin of victory in tournament history.
Although hot shooting and scoring by the Wildcats spurred the victory, it was evident that the defense stole the win for Wright and Villanova.
