VILLANOVA, Pa. -- Ryan Arcidiacono strode into the Pavilion with a national championship trophy raised high over his head and a bold decree for the Villanova fans stuffing the gym.
"We're going to go back-to-back," Arch told the roaring students. "I'm putting the pressure on right now."
Pressure?
The Wildcats are addicted to pressure and ready for a repeat -- but first it was time to party and celebrate the 2016 national championship.
"Let's get ready to rock this house," coach Jay Wright bellowed to the crowd.
The Wildcats unveiled the national championship banner and received their rings Friday night at a students-only ceremony that saw the team dancing and dunking, and even featured a little jig from 81-year-old former coach Rollie Massimino.
