Is there really a case for Villanova to make the tournament? Besides back-to-back wins against at home versus Louisville (who just came off a tough loss to Syracuse) and in overtime against the Orange, their resume is complete and utter garbage.
Look at these losses and tell me that this is a tournament team:
- 22-point defeat on a neutral court against a bubble Alabama team
- 18-point beating at home against the worst team in the Ivy League, Columbia
- losses to A-10 teams LaSalle and Temple, the latter being a 15-point rout
- 18-point loss to a "meh" Cincinnati team (I understand why Cincy's safely in and won't argue as such, but I'm never impressed when I watch them)
- swept by Providence, of all teams
I understand the entire college basketball landscape is down this season, but it's gonna be awful when these fucks steal a bid from some other bubble team just because they play in the Big East.
