WSJ Greatest Games of Each seed/bracket

Wall Street Journal reviewed field going back to first 64 team field and selected the best game for that bracket/seed. Clips from each of the game are available on the website (link below). 3 Villanova games are listed among "the best". 'Cats are 2-1 in those games. They include a first round game (hint, it's not the win at Dayton that kicked off the 1985 run...so skip that one and save your mood), The Wildcats' 1985 game with GTown is another and the third is their Sweet Sixteen win over BC back in 2006.

Trivia on that 2006 game -- if you look closely at the portion of the clip that shows some of the overtime action you can spot a familiar face who now coaches in the Big East. When they showed him from behind he caught my eye. Small world.
