In this 2016 season, Villanova University won the NCAA basketball championship playing against North Carolina-Asheville 86-85, so close; defeating Iowa in the second round 87-68; defeating Miami in regional semifinal 92-69; defeating Kansas in regional final 64-59; defeating Oklahoma in National semifinal 95-51; and the big one, defeating North Carolina in National Championship 77-74! It was a very big moment in the University's history; the last time they made the National Championship was defeating Georgetown 66-64 in the year of 1985.

Villanova University is nicknamed 'The Wildcats' and a member of the Big East Conference and the Philadelphia Big Five. The wildcats have appeared in the NCAA tournament 37 times, the 8th highest total in NCAA history. Villanova will enter the 2016-2017 season with an all time winning percentage of .648.

The coach for the basketball team since 2001 is Jay Wright. Jay's first job was an assistant coach at Division III University at Rochester. In 1986, he got his first position in Division I college basketball as a assistant coach at Drexel University. His next job was a assistant at Villanova.

On that day of the game of Villanova vs. Oklahoma, there was a ton of people watching. Half of the people watching were probably Villanova Alumni, like my father, who went to Villanova and majored in Business. A lot of people should be proud that they did go or do go to Villanova University. If Villanova lost their game playing against North Carolina, it would be sad but they did good.

I usually do not keep up with basketball, but I watched it in a restaurant and I finally understood it so I was thrilled also. I think it's good when you're passionate about something like your college, your friends, etc. When Villanova won, everyone went crazy. 1985 is a long way when they won last, and it was a proud moment for the college. The win was everywhere on the news. A lot of colleges sometimes just aren't this good or don't win this big for a National Championship.

The best known players for Villanova would be in 1995, Kerry Kittles, in 2006, Randy Foye, and in 2015, Ryan Arcidiacono. Arcidiacono became the first wildcat freshmen to score 25 points since Scottie Reynolds. He was named Big East rookie of the week after a 17-point performance against NJIT. He was named one of the ten finalists for the Senior CLASS Award. Villanova's first season was in 1920. I think Villanova did a good job playing the Final Four. All the players did a good job. Go Wildcats!
