Villanova a 'live dog' to make NCAA Tournament per ESPN's Joe Lunardi

Villanova is 8-7, 2-2 in the Big East and is seed No. 95 in ESPN's NCAA Tournament bracket. The team is 6- 2 in their last eight games. They play at home against No No 15 Butler on Saturday. They have a 30-35% chance of making the tournament. If they do, they need to win the conference championship. Their record of 13-8 or 14-6 would be enough to get an automatic bid. It's unlikely they will get that. There are only one more Georgetown, two DePauls, and two Butlers.

Villanova is a long shot to make the NCAA Tournament according to ESPN's Joe Lunardi. The team has had a good season but is still a non-football school in a pool of sharks. The 10-year run they just had was one of the most extraordinary things he's documented.
