So much for the 'Holy War'; brace yourself for late night action Saturday

You can forget the Holy War.

Villanova upheld its end of the bargain, posting a solid win over Milwaukee in the NCAA Tournament. But Saint Joseph's faltered in overtime and fell to UConn.

If both teams had won, they would have faced each other on Saturday.

Now, the Wildcats stand alone in representing the region, since Delaware also was rather rudely shown the door, getting blown out by Michigan State.

Terry Toohey has all the details on Villanova moving on, while Bob Grotz has the end of the road for Saint Joe's. So instead of a Holy War, we are looking at a battle of old Big East foes, with 'Nova looking to do what Saint Joe's could not, prevail against the Huskies.

And now on to the really important news. Villanova has drawn the late game again on Saturday night when they battle UConn. Tipoff likely will come sometime around 10 p.m. Someone call the deadline doctors.
