The next Villanova isn't an underdog, but a long overdue program

Huuuuuummmmp Daaaaaaaaaay! I have to admit when I first read the headline of today's lead article I immediately thought this was going to be another puff piece about an underdog surprising the masses. But it's actually decent in that it covers the angle of a program that's long overdue for postseason success - something that actually makes sense in relation to Villanova's title.

But I think the easy answer to this is the next Villanova is Villanova. They're going to win it again. Cancel next season.

And now, the "news."
