We continue to be all over Villanova as the Wildcats head to Houston and their date with Oklahoma in the Final Four Saturday night.
First things first - make sure you pick up a copy of the print edition of the Daily Times today to snag this great team photo of the 2015-16 Wildcats. It includes the full roster and the complete listing of every game as the Wildcats compiled a 33-5 record this year, inlcuding a three-week stint as the No. 1-ranked team in the AP college hoops poll.
We also were all over the big sendoff on the Main Line campus as hundreds gathered to wish the team well as they headed to Houston. Bob Grotz has great video of the event here.
Anne Neborak also has a story and photos here.
Sports columnist Jack McCaffery said this Villanova team is much better than the one that fell to Oklahoma by 23 points back in December.
Our Villanova beat writer Terry Toohey, who will be in Houston all weekend to provide live coverage, says coach Jay Wright is preaching focus to his young charges as they prepare to enter all the hype of Final Four weekend.
Finally, on our Business page we note that the success of the Wildcats also has been a boon for the local economy, especially those sporting goods shops that can't keep Villanova gear on their shelves.
And make sure you pick up a copy of the print edition again tomorrow, for another full-page poster of the Villanova starting five, along with a great statistical matchup of the Wildcats vs. Oklahoma.
We're all Wildcats, all the time!
