Congratulations Villanova Team of Destiny

[MarkOU]

That was clear when they shot over 70% Saturday night that they were the team to beat and they were going to win it all. Team of Destiny.





Even that last shot said it all. BOOM

Nova clearly has immense talent on their roster(Hart is an All American next year) but I have to say this was one of the best coaching jobs that I can remember in the tourney in forever.

Wright had the game plan down every single night.

I don't know about the "team of destiny" moniker for a team that for a while in the regular season was ranked #1. That's usually reserved for a surprise champion.

I'm glad I watched it.
Great game.

I've seen some of the best endings ever in years past and last night was right there with them.
Just amazing.

one hell of a game plan by Nova last night... Hats off to em. Honestly didn't think they'd win. Went to bed at halftime as I was exhausted, thought, "good run Nova, but UNC's got your number.."

Woke up... "Holy Shirt! REALLY?!?!"

I was happy to contribute 300 vcash to the cause.

Congrats, 'Nova.

Villanova cancelled class today in honor of the team's great victory over the Tar Holes. Carolina's basketball team also didn't go to class.

Anything like this happening in Philly tonight....

Alcohol could be a factor in that fellow's actions, no doubt.

This team has a great future with Jay Wright at the helm. I predict that he will win it again next year in Florida State fashion. Literally the best team in the nation! Big East!!!!!

Article from earlier in the year describing Villanova's 'stars'.

Big Thought: Why Villanova remains underrated

It kind of sums everything up.

I'll be honest. Even I didn't think we could win a national championship, but I knew this was the year if any. Now that we have one, we'll be recruiting at a higher level, as long as Wright stays around of course.

I also see some new Nova avatars around here. I guess the ball is rolling now. Look out @douggie , and Duke, lol.

Damn Jones, I almost ordered a Villanova tee shirt to wear all summer long. Maybe a hat too!

Even though they'd been ranked highly throughout the season and so on, I think their championship run was a surprise to most. It really had the feel of a "team of destiny," and I had fun rooting for them in the Finals vs a team that shouldn't have even been in the postseason. Disagree that they had a wealth of incredible talent - they had great court leadership, excellent coaching, and palpable chemistry to go with solid talent. Congrats!

LOL @ OU...that is all

Just seeing this thread, congrats to them, they where 1 heck of a team.
