After their victory in the First Four on Tuesday night, Radford gets the honor of meeting Villanova in the opening round of the NCAA Tournament.
Villanova comes into the game fresh off a Big East Tournament title and as one of the favorites to cut down the nets in San Antonio. No 16-seed has ever beaten a 1-seed, and this doesn’t look like the game for it to happen.
Radford has shown that they are a capable defensive team willing to play at a slow pace, and that’s something that Villanova has struggled with at times. But it would be a big surprise if the ‘Cats weren’t able to get by them relatively comfortably given the gap in talent.
Matchup: #1 Villanova Wildcats vs. #16 Radford Highlanders
