Villanova rolls into 2nd round with 86-56 win over Asheville | |
NEW YORK (AP) The first round of the NCAA Tournament was about as easy as could be for second-seeded Villanova. The Wildcats even got minutes for some walk-ons. Now comes the part that has been so hard for coach Jay Wright's team. The hurdle the Wildcats have not cleared since 2009: their second game of the NCAA Tournament. "Everyone's been talking about this next game coming up for the whole year, even before we got in the tournament, but it's very humbling for us to be able to get this first win," Daniel Ochefu said. "Just going forward in this game, we can't think about the shortcomings in the past years. We have to focus on the things we can take care of that will help us get this "W" on Sunday." MORE | |
