Earlier today I read NBC reporter Rob Dauster's piece on Villanova's legacy, and how we should view it. Generally, he doesn't seem impressed. Villanova doesn't have one-and-done talent, so they must be more lucky than good. It was a down year for elite teams in college basketball, so this championship isn't that impressive. The Big East is mediocre, apparently, and so who cares that they dominate it year after year?
And I bet you thought we were done with the dumb narratives?
It'd be nice if we could move past the razzle dazzle of players with insane measurables and/or those who can provide highlight reel moments and stop defining that as "talented.
