Villanova Beats South Florida, Selection Committee Not Impressed


Last night, Villanova beat USF 72-59 at the Pavilion. While a loss here would have been the certain end of a chance at the NCAA tournament, Villanova most likely has to win at Providence on Saturday and win at least two games in the Big East Tournament, which starts next week in Madison Square Garden.


Villanova is now 18-11, with an 8-9 record in the Big East. Notable was the return from the dead of Shane Clark (15 points) who had disappeared once the conference schedule started. Prior to that, he had been the team's second-leading scorer.


Apparently, Clark's nickname is "Shiz." I'd like to see Dick Vitale work that in to some color commentary. It's the Shiz, baby!


"I'm loving it," Wright gushed. "He's battled through whatever it is. It's just amazing.You could hear our guys going, 'That's our Shiz.' That's what they call him. "


Ooooooooohkay. Let's just leave that one alone. Go Cats!
