With Both Duke and Virginia losing in the ACC Conference tournament this all but locks Villanova as a Number 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament. During the presser after Villanova first game at MSG, Coach Jay Wright said #1 seed was not important and that he was focused on winning this tournament.
The Championship game was not even close. Villanova dominated and frustrated Xavier, going on to win by 17 points. Most Outstanding Player of the Big East Tournament was Villanova’s six man Josh Hart. Hart had 18 points in the Villanova grind out win against Providence.
