By now, Villanova’s fans expect success during the Men’s NCAA tournament. Under Jay Wright, the Wildcats have advanced out of the first round in each of the last nine tournaments, winning the national title in 2016 and 2018. Still, even with such consistent excellence, it doesn’t mean their fans can’t revel in the good times when they come.
On Thursday night, Villanova (-4.5) beat Michigan, 63-55, to advance to the Elite Eight. (Note that the last two times the Wildcats advanced to the Regional Final under Wright, they ended up winning the whole thing.)
Collin Gillespie was predictably great. Jermaine Samuels was dynamite, as usual. All in all, it was a night for the team and the Nova faithful to remember.
