It was a game remem- bered by many as one of the most perfectly-played NCAA championship games ever. It was a game few felt the undermanned Villanova Wildcats had much of a chance win- ning. What the capacity crowd in Rupp Arena, and one of the largest national tele- vision audiences ever witnessed on April 1, 1985 was as stunning of an upset as there has ever been in an NCAA championship game. Head coach Rollie Massimino’s Wildcats claimed Villanova’s first national bas- ketball title by shocking one of college basketball greatest teams ever, Georgetown, 66-64. It was a trio that coined themselves “The Expansion Crew,” Ed Pinckney, Dwayne McClain and Gary McLain. And of course it was a typical Villanova team effort with Harold Pressley, Harold Jensen and Dwight Wilbur being most no- ticeable. And Villanova’s victory was no fluke. On April 1, 1985, Villa- nova was simply the best team. The Wildcats, as expected, played stellar defense and con- trolled the tempo just as many thought they would have to in order to keep it a game. Massimino, in a press conference the day before the championship clash, stated that he be- lieved in order for his Wildcats to upend the Georgetown Hoyas it would probably take a perfect game. His Wildcats weren’t perfect, but they were close. The ‘Cats sank an amazing 22 of 28 field goal tries for a sizzling and unheard of 78.6 percent field goal percentage. Even more startling, the ‘Cats in the second half, when things really be- gan cooking, connected on nine of 10 field goals. 90 per- cent field goal shooting! From the foul line the ‘Cats went 22 of 27, including 11 of 14 pressure packed ones in the last two minutes. What made Villanova’s shooting performance even more startling was who it was accomplished against. Patrick Ew- ing and company were the number one defense in the coun- try and had limited opponents to just 39 percent shooting from the field for the entire season. Having lost twice to Georgetown in the regular season, the two squads were familiar foes. Georgetown jumped on the ‘Cats quickly and enjoyed 10-6, 18-12 and 20-14 leads in the game’s early going. But for every Georgetown offensive, Villanova regrouped and rallied and when Harold Pressley followed up his own missed shot with just four seconds left before half, Villanova went to the locker room leading 29-28 while a nation-wide audience stared in disbelief. Villanova’s halftime lead lasted until 10:41 was left when the Hoyas moved into the lead 42-41. The lead would ex- change hands five times until Villanova had silent- ly slipped out to a 53-48 advantage. But George- town roared back, and with 4:50 to go had a 54- 53 lead. In possession of a one-point lead and the ball, Georgetown tried to spread the floor and run the clock. However, the ‘Cats Dwayne McClain, a player remembered for the many big shots he made in his career, came up with a crucial steal and as Villanova patient- ly worked for a good shot, freshman Harold Jensen nailed a 16 footer to push Villanova to a 55-54 lead with 2:36 to go. Pinckney, at the other end, blocked David Wingate’s driving baseline layup and was fouled retrieving the ball, and after making both free throws, the Wildcats had a 57-54 lead. Vil- lanova’s ability to sink free throws was crucial in the closing minutes and with 18 seconds left, Villanova led 65-60. A Vil- lanova free throw and two Georgetown layups made it 66- 64 with two seconds left. Dwayne McClain, who had tripped and fallen to the floor, caught the inbound pass on the floor and when the final two seconds ticked off the clock, the vic- tory was Villanova’s. “Needless to say, this is probably the greatest moment in Villanova basketball history. I am extremely elated, proud and grateful for everything that happened this year. These kids were just great. I think we beat one of the greatest teams in history. Georgetown played extremely well and we played great.” For the Villanova Wildcats, it was a fairy tale finish. 1985 NCAA Champions THE 1984-85 VILLANOVA WILDCATS (L TO R): Dwight Wilbur, Veltra Dawson, R.C.

With the school’s first NCAA Sweet 16 Tour- nament appearance in 17 years fresh in the rear view mirror, little heed was taken of an incom- ing crop of freshmen who seemed destined to wait their turn behind a veter- an core that included two All-Americans and a start- ing lineup of accomplished upperclassmen. Four years later that same class, consisting of Dwayne Anderson, Shane Clark, Dante Cunningham and Frank Tchuisi, completed their career as the corner- stones of a unit that will long be recalled on the Main Line. They exited the stage literally, on the elevated floor before more than 70,000 people at Detroit’s Ford Field, home of the 2009 Final Four. Behind them were the treasured mem- ories of a remarkable farewell tour that included a school-re- cord 30 victories and the program’s first Final Four appear- ance since the 1985 NCAA championship. “Even through our last practice in Detroit the day before the Final Four,” said head coach Jay Wright, “this team kept getting better.” It was a glamorous and thrilling end for a no-frills contin- gent that simply went about its business calmly and with a clear purpose. Ahead was a BIG EAST Conference that would establish a new record in January with no fewer than nine of its mem- bers ranked in the Top 25. The challenges proved formidable in the early going. There were three losses in the first 18 days of January to top 25 squads – Marquette, Louisville and Connecticut – by a to- tal of 14 points. But Villanova’s players got together in Cun- ningham’s hotel room in Florida before facing USF and that gathering helped ignite an impressive run that began with a hard-fought 70-61 win over the Bulls. Next, came a method- ical 67-57 win over No. 3 Pitt in the final basketball game ever at the Spectrum that set the tone for the second half of the BIG EAST regular season. Villanova then hit its stride in February rolling to wins over Cincinnati, Providence, Syracuse and Marquette. By the time the regular season wrapped up at the Pavilion win a 97-81 win over Providence, Villanova was 13-5 and the own- er of a double-bye to the BIG EAST Conference Tournament in Manhattan. In New York, the Wildcats found themselves up against Mar- quette for the third time in 12 weeks. VU built a large half- time lead, saw the Golden Eagles rally to reclaim the edge, and then watched as Reggie Redding found Anderson un- der the basket for a layup that nearly rimmed out as the horn sounded for a 76-75 win. On Selection Sunday, Villanova learned it would begin its NCAA Tournament jour- ney just down the road at the Wachovia Cen- ter in South Philadel- phia as a No. 3 seed in the East Region. Patriot League champion Amer- ican would be the open- ing round foe and the Eagles were firing in long- range bombs en route to a 12-point edge early in the second half. But Villa- nova’s veterans, led by An- derson and Cunningham, methodically wore down American and the ‘Cats ul- timately pulled away to an 80-67 victory. From start to finish against a storied UCLA program, Villa- nova was in command. Fisher was electric in helping stake the ‘Cats to a 38-19 lead they never looked back from. The final was 89-69. With its fourth visit to the Sweet 16 in the past five seasons, the Wildcats advanced to the TD Banknorth Garden in Bos- ton where another brand name of college basketball await- ed. ACC Tournament champion Duke, the region’s second seed, never did get untracked against the ‘Cats with Villa- nova pulling away to a 77-54 win after halftime. That set up a return engagement with BIG EAST rival Pitt for a trip to the Final Four. It was a seesaw contest with 15 lead changes that captivat- ed the sellout crowd from the opening tip to the final horn. Pittsburgh carved out a 67-63 lead with 3:24 left in regula- tion but an Anderson steal and 3-point play changed the texture of the final minutes (the senior would finish with 17 points and be named to the All-East Region team along with Cunningham and Most Outstanding Player Reynolds). Villanova sank 5-of-6 free throws down the stretch and ap- peared to be in control with less than 10 seconds left. But an errant inbounds pass that sailed over the head of Cunning- ham on an inbounds play and a Wildcat foul allowed Pitt to tie the game at 76 on a pair of Levance Fields free throws with 5.5 seconds left. That set up one of the more notable plays in Villanova bas- ketball history. With the official counting down near the five second limit to inbound the basketball, Redding lobbed a high pass to Cunningham near midcourt. Cunningham leaped high, collected the pass and immediately dished it off to a streaking Reynolds. The junior guard dribbled down the right side, eluded DeJuan Blair and drove into the lane, where he hung in the air and sent a shot over Jermaine Dix- on towards the net. The shot fell, the horn sounded, and after a final despera- tion heave from Pitt’s Levance Fields was off line, Villanova celebrated a trip to the Final Four. The Wildcats fell to eventual champion North Carolina in the national semifinals but the legacy of the class of 2009 was secure: through workmanlike toil, it had authored a tru- ly spectacular final act. 2009 NCAA Final Four BACK ROW: Graduate Manager Adam Fisher; Administrative Intern Kyle Neptune; Assistant Coach Jason Donnelly; Shane Clark; Antonio Peña; Frank Tchuisi; Casiem Drummond; Head Coach Jay Wright; Maurice Sutton; Dante Cunningham; Taylor King; Dwayne Anderson; Corey Stokes; Assistant Coach Doug West; Team Chaplain Rev.

And that some- thing could only be addressed in March. Villanova head coach Jay Wright disagreed with the premise. He asked his team, which includ- ed two returning starters, to embrace the actual day-to-day grunt work it would take to even position themselves for another chance at postseason glory. The challenges were real. Holdover captains Ryan Arcidi- acono and Daniel Ochefu were joined in the revamped starting lineup by juniors Josh Hart and Kris Jenkins along with freshman guard Jalen Brunson. The key re- serves were sophomore guard Phil Booth, redshirt freshman Mi- kal Bridges and junior forward Darryl Reynolds. The Wildcats opened with four straight victories at the Pavilion by an average margin of 26.3 points. Next came a Thanksgiving stop in Brooklyn where they earned the NIT Season Tipoff title with wins over Stanford and Georgia Tech. They then took care of Saint Jo- seph’s on Hawk Hill for their sev- enth consecutive triumph. Next came a long journey to Pearl Harbor where the No. 9 Wildcats would take on No. 7 Oklahoma set against the backdrop of the 74th anniversary of the attack on the island. It was a thoughtful week- end of reflection off the court but Villanova proved no match for the Sooners on this warm day at Bloch Arena, fall- ing 78-55. Villanova rebounded with a home-court victo- ry over La Salle before flying south to meet another Top 10, squad, Virginia. The Cavaliers outlasted the Wildcats 86-74. The Wildcats went back to the workshop and posted home-court wins over Delaware and Penn, setting the stage for a BIG EAST Con- ference opener at the Pavilion against unde- feated, sixth ranked Xavier. A scary fall in the first two minutes suffered by the Musketeers’ Edmond Sumner changed the tenor of the meeting quickly. With Brun- son battling the effects of a virus, Arcidiacono stepped forward with a brilliant offensive per- formance. The senior’s 27 points ignited the Wildcats’ offense as Villanova rolled past Xavi- er 91-64. VU reeled off six more BIG EAST wins, includ- ing a pair over Seton Hall, to carve a 7-0 con- ference mark headed into a scheduled show- down with Providence. A winter storm delayed the game by a day to Jan. 24 and PC upended VU 82-79 in overtime. Less than two weeks later, the two teams met again in Providence. With Ochefu sidelined by the effects of a concussion, Reynolds started and provided 19 points and 10 rebounds in 36 minutes to key a 72-60 win. VU was 10-1 in the BIG EAST and poised for a promotion from its No. 3 national ranking when the polls were re- leased on Feb. 8. For the first time in its history, Villanova was ranked at the top of both the Associated Press and USA Today Coaches poll when the polls were announced. The Wildcats picked up wins over DePaul and St. John’s to remain at No. 1 for a second week. Wins at Temple and on Senior Day over But- ler extended the run atop the polls into a third week. Xavier got the better of the Wildcats in the re- match on Feb. .24 in Cincinnati before Villa- nova closed out the year with three more BIG EAST wins to complete a 27-4 regular season. For the third time in as many seasons, VU’s 16-2 conference record earned it the BIG EAST regular season championship. Villanova’s quest to repeat as BIG EAST Tournament cham- pions took it to the title game game against Seton Hall. In a close game throughout, the Wildcats were unable to score on their final possession and Se- ton Hall won, 69-67. A No. 2 seed in the East Re- gion of the NCAA Tournament brought the Wildcats back to Brooklyn for the second time. A late first half spurt helped car- ry Villanova past UNC Asheville 86-56 to set up a second round clash with Iowa, a team that had spent much of the season ranked in the Top 25. Villanova cleared the second round hurdle with lit- tle fuss. Hart scored 19 points to spark a balanced attack in an 87- 68 triumph. In the Sweet 16, Miami and Villano- va were both challenged to con- tain the opponents’ substantial firepower. The Wildcats strung to- gether enough second half stops to pull away to a 92-69 win in Lou- isville. That set up an Elite Eight clash with Kansas and this time Villanova won a gritty game un- like anything they had seen to this point in the NCAA Tournament. Some fine defensive work by Bridges and clutch free throws from Arcidiacono helped the Wildcats slip past the Jayhawks 64-59. Awaiting Villanova at the Final Four in Houston was Oklahoma. Against the Sooners, Villanova earned the largest margin of vic- tory ever recorded in a Final Four game, a 95-51 victory. Hart’s 23 points and eight rebounds led the way. On championship Monday, the Wildcats and Tar Heels staged a classic. North Carolina took a 39-34 lead into halftime. The Wildcats opened a 67-57 lead near the end of the second half but North Carolina kept coming. The Tar Heels forged a 74-74 tie when Marcus Paige tossed in a deep 3-pointer while being hounded by a defender. 4.7 seconds re- mained on the clock. Jenkins inbounded the basketball to Arcidi- acono, who accepted the feed and began drib- bling towards the frontcourt along the left side. As he crossed halfcourt, the Tar Heels de- fense shifted towards the Villanova guard. Be- hind him, Arcidiacono heard Jenkins calling his name. Arcidiacono drifted two his right and sent a pass to a trailing, open Jenkins. Jenkins took the pass, stepped into the shot, and it fell through the net as the horn sound- ed. NRG Stadium erupted.

Villanova’s roster included exactly zero scholarship seniors. What’s more, the Wildcats would also be without an on-campus home, due to the $65 million renovation project that transformed the original Pavilion into the Finneran Pavilion. The cam- paign would be a road show of sorts, with 12 games played at the team’s second home, the Wells Fargo Cen- ter, and others in neutral settings like Allentown, Pa., and Hempstead, N.Y. On paper, those loomed as signifi- cant obstacles. In reality, they became mere foot- notes to as impressive a march through a season as Villanova has made its 98 years of Division I hoops. From opening night – a 75- 60 triumph over Columbia – to the fi- nal Monday night of the season in San Antonio, Tex., the Wildcats were ex- traordinary. Junior floor leader Jalen Brunson teamed with classmates Mikal Bridg- es and Phil Booth to lead the way on a remarkable journey that hit an early high note with the program’s second Battle 4 Atlantis championship in five years. The Wildcats rallied from a 46- 34 halftime deficit to upend Tennes- see 85-76 in the semifinals and then held off UNI 64-50 in the title game in the Bahamas. Brunson was select- ed as the event’s Most Outstanding Player. It would only be the first of what turned out to be a series of awards in what would become the most decorated single season in program history. Villanova turned back the clock by hosting a regular season game in the Jake Nevin Field House – capacity 2,200 – for the first time since Jan. 4, 1986 when Penn came to campus on Nov. 29. In front of a raucous au- dience comprised mostly of students, the Wildcats rolled as redshirt fresh- man Omari Spellman flashed his up- side with 14 points and seven re- bounds in a 90-62 Philadelphia Big Five triumph. A trip to New York City for the Jimmy V Classic was a December highlight. A 28-point outburst by Bridges that included a highlight reel second half dunk helped lift VU past 2017 NCAA Finalist Gon- zaga 90-72. The Wildcats took a 12-0 mark into the opening of BIG EAST play on Dec. 27 at DePaul and came away with a 103-85 victory in their first ever visit to Wintrust Arena. For the second time in three seasons, Butler hand- ed Villanova its first loss, on Dec. 30. Brunson’s 31 points weren’t enough as sizzling long range shooting pushed the Bulldogs to a 101-93 win be- fore a raucous crowd at Hinkle Field House. The Cats’ quickly got back on track in January, climbing the BIG EAST standings thanks to a per- fect month that also included an 81-61 non-confer- ence win over former league rival Connecticut on Jan. 20. After posting a 98-78 victory over Creigh- ton at the Wells Fargo Center on Feb. 1, the Wild- cats stood at 21-1. Injuries that had begun to mount in January be- came more challenging in a month with nine games in 28 days. Three Wildcats – Collin Gilles- pie, Jermaine Samuels, and Phil Booth – were side- lined for multiple games with the same injury – a broken bone in the hand. Booth’s loss following a Jan. 23 win over Providence, was especially dam- aging. Then, when Eric Paschall went to the side- lines with a concussion following a Feb. 4 win over Seton Hall, the mountain grew steeper still. St. John’s knocked off Villanova 79-75 in South Phil- adelphia on Feb. 7. But the Wildcats bounced back with terrific effort, downing Butler 86-75 with Brun- son and Donte DiVincenzo combining for 57 points. There would be two more BIG EAST defeats in the month – at Providence and at Creighton – but the most significant element is that the ‘Cats were re- gaining their health. Booth returned on Feb. 24 in a win over DePaul, joining Gillespie and Samuels who had returned earlier. Not long after their arrival in Man- hattan, it was announced that Brun- son was the recipient of both the BIG EAST Player and Scholar Athlete of the Year awards. It would begin a run of honors that saw him become the consensus National Player of the Year, becoming the first Wildcat to be named the winner of the John R. Wooden, Naismith and Oscar Robert- son Trophy as the country’s top play- er. The Wildcats continued to roll in their first two games, downing Marquette 94-70 and then blitzing Butler 19-0 in the opening minutes to take con- trol of a semifinal clash. The theatrics of Bridges and Brunson helped car- ry the Wildcats past Providence in overtime 76-66 to produce the pro- gram’s third BIG EAST Tournament crown in four seasons. Bridges took home the Dave Gavitt Award as the event’s Most Outstanding Player. Villanova earned the No. 1 overall seed in the NCAA Tournament and travelled to Pittsburgh to meet Rad- ford in the opening round. The Wild- cats built a 44-23 halftime lead over Radford and glided to an 87-61 win in the opening round. Booth and Bridg- es helped to contain Alabama star Collin Sexton in the second round. That, and a burst early in the sec- ond half carried VU past the Crimson Tide. Bridges finished with 23 points and DiVincenzo added 18. The Wildcats returned to Boston, the launching point of their 2009 march to the NCAA Final Four, for the 2018 Eastern Regional. In the semifinal, the Wildcats found themselves in old school BIG EAST battle against their former conference rival West Virginia. The Mountaineers held a 57- 51 lead with 11:08 remaining to play in regulation. Enter Brunson and Spellman. The duo fueled a monstrous closing burst that culminated in a 90-78 triumph. Two days later, the Wildcats downed an- other representative of the Big 12, holding off Texas Tech 71-59. The Wildcats thus punched their tick- et to Texas, site of their 2016 NCAA national title victory. In the semifinals, Villanova drained an NCAA Final Four record 18 3-pointers on their way to a 95-79 win over Kansas. Paschall was sensational, drop- ping in 10-of-11 field goal attempts while compil- ing 24 points. Two nights later, the Wildcats found themselves trailing Michigan by seven points after 9:01 of game action. That’s when the BIG EAST’s Sixth Man of the Year stepped forward with a perfor- mance for the ages. DiVincenzo would finish with 31 points as the ‘Cats pulled away for a 79-62 tri- umph. The Wilmington, Del., product would be named Most Outstanding Player. The story of Villanova’s march through the mad- ness was its dominance. Villanova won all six of its NCAA games by double digits with an average margin of victory of 17 points per contest. Two days after returning to Philadelphia, the Wild- cats were celebrated with a parade near City Hall. 2018 NCAA Champions TOP ROW (L-R): Donte DiVincenzo; Eric Paschall; Tim Delaney; Dhamir Cosby-Roundtree; Head Coach Jay Wright; Dylan Painter; Omari Spellman; Mikal Bridges; Jermaine Samuels.
