This isn’t how the season was supposed to go. Villanova wasn’t supposed to be plagued with injuries. The Wildcats weren’t supposed to be just barely clinging to a #1 seed in late February. This team wasn’t supposed to lose its 4th game of the season down the home stretch.
Because they weren’t supposed to be this good.
Don’t get me wrong, there have been some flaws exposed on both ends of the court that now have people questioning if they’re the favorites come tournament time, but this is a team that graduated all four of its leading scorers from the 2016 Championship season, and had a lot of questions coming into this season.
