 Villanueva basketball fans were confident the university's men's team would defeat the Kansas J Hawks this weekend. But after a tough loss in New Orleans, the Wildcats came home empty-handed, missing out on bringing back another NCAA championship. Students and alumni back on campus were disappointed about the result, but proud of how far the Wildcats made it in this year's March Madness tournament. They started to give up a little bit when the gap began expanding, but at the same time I feel like they really pushed and they made it really far in the tournament. Looking forward to next year's season, fans are concerned about the team's performance without two outstanding seniors, Colin Gillespie and Jermaine Samuels, who play their last game on Saturday. I feel like I'm very optimistic about it, you know, but the reality is that two of our good seniors are leaving. Colin and Jermaine are graduating now officially, and I don't know if the other two will come back, the other two seniors, so I don't know. I don't know if it'll be the same. Winning two of the last five national championships in 2016 and then again in 2018, Villanova's men's basketball program proved itself to be a powerhouse on the highest levels of college basketball. So fans remain hopeful that the team will bounce back next year. Although the Villanova men's basketball team missed out on another NCAA championship this year, the Nova Nation is still optimistic in looking forward to cheering on the Wildcats during the upcoming season.
