2016 Big East Media Day: Villanova refocusing after championship season

The last time Villanova was at the World's Most Famous Arena--Madison Square Garden--it didn't go so smoothly for the Wildcats.

Trailing by two against the Seton Hall Pirates, Villanova was able to get one last shot at tying or taking away the game after Isaiah Whitehead missed his second free throw. The ball zipped to Ryan Arcidiacono, and his last-second heave for the win fell a few feet short of reaching the rim.

The Seton Hall bench quickly cleared, as the Pirates swarmed the middle of the court in exuberant celebration, while the Wildcats felt the agonizing pain of defeat in the Big East Tournament championship game.
