Villanova seems intent on exorcising all those demons of early exits from the NCAA Tournament all in one fell swoop this year.
Jay Wright's Wildcats Thursday night dismantled another solid foe, blowing out Miami, 92-69.
Our man on the Villanova beat, Terry Toohey, is in Louisville and has all the details on the Wildcats' big win here.
The win propels the Wildcats into the Elite Eight for the first time since 2009. Villanova's seniors, including their leader Ryan Arcidiacano know all about the frustration of March Madness after a series of early exits in recent years.
Not this time.
The Wildcats now have a huge match with South Region No. 1 seed Kansas in the late game Saturday night. Tip-off is not until 8:50 - and that is if the first game runs on time.
For Villanova and their fans, it's worth the wait. They've heard all the razzing about failing to advance in the NCAA Tournament.
This team spent three weeks sitting atop the AP hoops pool. And now they are making their mark with a deep rin in the "dance."
For the Wildcats, it is certainly not the same old "song and dance."
