Despite the early season struggles the Villanova Wildcats have been working through, they’re exactly where we thought they’d be at the start of the season. After winning their first two games by an average of 23 points, Nova has advanced to the tournament championship against #14 Florida State.
The Florida State Seminoles are the de facto home team in this tournament, despite their campus being about 4 hours away. That said, it sounds like enough of the Nova Nation has made their way to Orlando to make this feel more like a neutral site, if not tip it in Nova’s favor.
