NCAA Tournament 2016, Villanova vs. Miami: Wildcats will face a (very) old Big East rival

Villanova will play in the NCAA Sweet 16 round for the first time since 2009 on Thursday night, and their opponent will be one that they haven't faced since the 2003-04 season. Prior to that date, the Hurricanes were a regular appearance on the Wildcats' schedule for over a decade while they were a member of the Big East Conference for all sports.

A win for Miami would send that program to the Elite Eight for the first time in school history. It would be the twelfth for Villanova.

Here are a few things to watch for tomorrow:
