BOSTON – They are the nation’s top offensive team. They also can strangle you on defense when they need to.
That combination is a deadly one and that’s why the Villanova Wildcats are headed to the Final Four. Again.
This is the second Final Four in three years for the Wildcats and it would be risky betting against the chances of Jay Wright’s crew to hang another national championship banner alongside its 2016 flag.
On a day where its trademark 3-point bombing was downright scud-like (4-of-24), Villanova’s defense was the key to a 71-59 victory over Texas Tech in the East Regional final at TD Garden.
