KEY GAME INFORMATION
VILLANOVA: Last season: 32-4, lost in second round of NCAA Tournament.
Who's gone: G Josh Hart, G Kris Jenkins, F Darryl Reynolds
Who's back: G Jalen Brunson, the sensational junior point guard, averaged 14.7 points, shot 54 percent from the field, had 148 assists and flirted with the idea of leaving for the NBA. G Phil Booth led the Wildcats in scoring in the national championship game in 2016. He missed most of last season with an injured left knee. F Omari Spellman, G Donte DiVincenzo and G Mikal Bridges round out a lineup for the Big East favorites.
Who's new: The Wildcats added Collin Gillespie, Dhamir Cosby-Roundtree and Jermaine Samuels to the lineup.
The Skinny: The Wildcats were picked to win their fifth straight regular-season conference title, Brunson was chosen as the conference's preseason player of the year, and Spellman was selected freshman of the year. The 2016 national champions should again be among the small group of programs that can win it all on that first Monday in April.
PREVIEW
No. 1 seed Villanova faces First Four winner Radford
 

Villanova earned a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament for the second consecutive season and will open postseason play Thursday night against No. 16 seed Radford at PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh.

The Wildcats captured the Big East tournament for the third time in four years with a 76-66 overtime victory over Providence. The win cemented Villanova's fourth straight 30-win season. Kansas was the last program to accomplish this feat from 2010-13.

Villanova (30-4) will face Radford (23-12) for the first time in school history.

Villanova was previously a No. 1 seed in the Minneapolis Region in 2006 and in the East Region in 2015 and 2017.

The Wildcats won their fifth in a row with the victory over the Friars.

National Player of the Year candidate Jalen Brunson tied a career-high with 31 points while Mikal Bridges scored 25 points and was named the Dave Gavitt Award winner as Most Outstanding Player of the Big East tournament.

After a grueling schedule in the rugged Big East, the task now is to prepare to face a bit of an unknown team.

"This is a little more difficult," Villanova coach Jay Wright said of the matchup. "When you play a mid-major like this, and I coached there, they play different when they each other than when they you. So you have to figure out, how did they play when they played bigger-time teams and how did they play in their league? It's a challenge, but, hey, it's a good challenge to have."

Junior guard Phil Booth missed seven games late in the season with a broken bone in his right hand but returned to provide some much-needed leadership. Booth led Villanova with 20 points two years ago in the national championship against North Carolina, a game in which Kris Jenkins drained a 3-pointer to give the Wildcats a title.

"These guys are my brothers, so we're very close on and off the court," Booth told the Philadelphia Inquirer. "You could see in the way we play and how unselfish we play how much we loved each other. So I just came in trying to pick the energy back up, just trying to make the team feel whole again."

Radford defeated LIU-Brooklyn 71-61 in the First Four on Tuesday night in Dayton, Ohio, in a matchup of No. 16 seeds.

Junior forward Ed Polite Jr. led the way with 13 points and 12 rebounds for his 27th career double-double. Freshman guard Carlik Jones also had an impressive performance with 12 points, 11 rebounds and seven assists. Travis Fields Jr. added 13 points for the Highlanders.

Radford set a school record with its 23rd victory. It won 22 games in 1990-91, 2013-14 and 2014-15.

Radford's bench came up big with a 27-7 advantage against LIU-Brooklyn.

The Highlanders have made two previous trips to the NCAA Tournament -- the 1997-98 season and the 2008-09 season. In 1998, Radford lost 99-63 to No. 1 seed Duke 99-63. In 2009, it was crushed 101-58 by No. 1 seed North Carolina.

Radford will have a daunting task against another No. 1 seed in Villanova. A No. 16 seed has never defeated a No. 1 in the NCAA Tournament.

But first, it had to defeat LIU-Brooklyn.

"We remained calm," Polite told reporters following the win Tuesday. "Basketball is about a game of runs. So we knew they're a good team, so they're going to make shots. So we just had to remain focused and go with the game plan. And that's to pressure them even though they're a fast-paced team and don't give them any easy baskets."
