The quest for back-to-back champs marches on.
After entering the NCAA Tournament as the No. 1 overall seed, the Villanova Wildcats’ season could not get through the first weekend. The Wildcats’ season came to an end on Saturday in Buffalo as the eight-seed Wisconsin Badgers took them down 65-62.
‘Nova saw themselves up 57-50 at the 5:31 mark of the game. Big buckets by Wisconsin’s dynamic duo of Bronson Koenig and Nigel Hayes, two of the most accomplished players the Badger program has quite frankly ever seen, tied the game up by the 3:27 mark.
