How I passed the time while I couldn't sleep this morning:

10. Villanova vs. Indiana - 1978 Sweet 16 (know nothing about this, but seems like it must have been a big one)
9. Villanova vs. Illinois - 1988 Round of 32 (Pat Enright)
8. Villanova vs. Michigan - 1985 Round of 32 (gotta love an 8-1 upset)
7. Villanova vs. Memphis St. - 1985 National Semifinals (gets lost in the shuffle, but MSU was darn good)
6. Villanova vs. Western Kentucky - 1971 National Semifinals (2OT)
5. Villanova vs. BC - 2006 Sweet 16 (so important for the program at that time; unbelievable game)
4. Villanova vs. Pitt - 2009 Elite 8
3. 90-47
2. Villanova vs. UNC - 1985 Elite 8 (Rollie finally gets over the hump)
1. C'mon now.

A few notes: I have some kind of bias toward end-of-weekend wins. I won't argue if anyone accuses me of bias toward those I remember. Apologies to the 1939 team.

Please feel free to tear this apart.
