NCAA Tournament 2016: Villanova coach Jay Wright looking forward to the new challenge

Following a loss to the Seton Hall Pirates in the Big East Tournament Championship, the Selection Committee deemed Villanova unfit for what many hoped to be a 1-seed in the East Region. Fans were eager to see their Wildcats in Brooklyn for the first two rounds, then go to the Wells Fargo Center to hopefully see a trip to the Final Four.

They still get Brooklyn, but it's a 2-seed in the South for the `Cats.

"We had our chance at that" Wright said on the hopes of getting a 1-seed and playing close to home.
