SAN ANTONIO -- One of the terms for the college basketball elite is Blueblood. Only a handful of programs are considered Bluebloods and it’s not easy to get into that neighborhood. But Villanova has put up some amazing numbers over the last several years. As the Wildcats prepare to face Kansas -- yes, most consider the Jayhawks a Blueblood – Villanova has earned the Blueblood label, at least for the last decade.
Consider their Final Four appearances. Saturday’s battle in the Alamodome against Kansas will be Villanova’s third Final Four trip in the last decade. The only other schools to appear three times in the last 10 years?
