The #2 Villanova Wildcats will take on the #15 Delaware Fightin’ Blue Hens in Pittsburgh on Friday afternoon (2:45pm) in the First Round of the NCAA Tournament. The Blue Hens, who finished 10-8 in the CAA, ripped off three straight wins as the 5-seed in the CAA Tournament - including a 13-point win over #1 Towson - to steal the auto-bid.
The Blue Hens’ last tournament appearance was in 2014 when they were bounced in the first round by the Michigan State Spartans. Weird fact: Delaware has appeared in the NIT once (2000) and lost to.
