UC Irvine punches ticket to NCAA tournament

NEW YORK -- Phil Booth entered the New York Knicks' locker room -- only the best for the defending champs at Madison Square Garden -- wearing a net around his neck. The senior guard stopped at every locker to give each Villanova teammate a hand clap and a bro hug.

Booth has been at Villanova for five years and has won two national titles. The Wildcats have played in the past five Big East tournament championship games, winning four, and Booth has been around for all of it.

This certainly isn't the best team he has been part of, but it can boast an unprecedented accomplishment.
