Happy Monday, 'Nova Nation! I know you're all still probably worked up a day later, and the committee's choice to flip Villanova and Xavier doesn't make any more sense today unless you subscribe that Nortg Carolina earned that protection. It is ridiculous, but let me play devil's advocate and say that we would be irate if Villanova had to go to Raleigh and play Duke or Carolina as the top seed, as Mike Jensen notes in his column.
Plus, the South looks like a much easier path for Villanova whereas the East is loaded. So just take care of business next weekend and then go from there.
