SAN ANTONIO -- Phil Booth laughed about it on Sunday when the topic was brought up.
When he arrived at Villanova four years ago, the knock on the Wildcats was that they couldn't win in March. They had been sent home in the first weekend of the NCAA tournament in five straight appearances, despite earning a top-two seed in three of those five tourney trips.
"Just how the tournament works, you know?" Booth told ESPN.
And now after Monday night, the new narrative is much different: the best program in college basketball.
Villanova won its second national championship in three years on Monday, dominating Michigan for most of the final 30 minutes en route to a 79-62 victory.
