Canzano: What the Oregon Ducks, and the rest of us, can learn from Villanova

Don't know if you noticed on Monday night as Villanova cut down the NCAA Tournament championship nets, but those kids weren't exactly kids.

The Wildcats started four juniors and a redshirt freshman against Michigan. That's an average of 2.6 seasons of college playing experience from the champs. The Wolverines starters averaged 2.4 college seasons. What I'm saying is, the "one and done" era didn't exactly win this thing, did it?

None of the top-eight projected NBA Draft picks in SI.com's latest draft model made this year's Final Four. Seven of those projected picks are freshman (and the eighth plays overseas).
