Since Villanova won the National Championship in 2009, the team has been on a yo-yo of sorts. A good year in 2010 (National Semifinalists). A historically dismal year in 2011 (2-9). A rebound year in 2012 (8-4). A dissapointing followup in 2013 (6-5). A sign of things to come in 2014 (11-3)? An injury-ridden disappointment in 2015 (6-5).
If this trend continues, things must surely be pointing towards a good showing in 2016. The ‘Cats return about half of their starters, andthe defense appears loaded. If the offense can push it forward, we could be looking at a return to the playoffs.
