Villanova's National Championship could be just the beginning of the program's dominance

Huuuuuuuump Daaaaay!!!! I'll keep it short and sweet for you since I have a lot of writing to do about what went down in Houston. And apologies if some of these links are from yesterday. My regular laptop is on the fritz (self-inflicted, did I mention Houston was a blast?) and I'm using the wife's Mac and I have no idea how to work it.

Today I'll be writing about what I learned in Houston, and what I think the future holds for Villanova. And on the latter, there's a nice article from NBC about how this could be the start of something great. More on that in a bit.

And now, the "news."
