Villanova Ends The NCAA Questions

There are a lot of questions that will be coming Villanova's way this week but none of them will have to do about getting out of the NCAA Tournament's first weekend.

The Wildcats used a near flawless first half to open a 25-point lead at the break and never let Iowa mount any serious threat in the second half as Villanova rolled to a convincing 87-68 victory over the Hawkeyes in an NCAA Tournament second-round game at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y.

Villanova (31-5), the No. 2 seed in the South Region, now moves on to face Miami in a Sweet 16 South Region matchup Thursday night in Louisville.
