Number one seed Villanova manhandled Alabama this past weekend with Mikal Bridges contributing five three-pointers.  This came after Bridges, who averaged 17.9 points and played his way into a likely NBA draft lottery pick, scored 1 point and missed all five shots in the first half.

Perhaps no team in college basketball plays a more physical brand of basketball than Bob Huggins’ squad, the local CBS affiliate out of Philadelphia (home of Villanova) warns heading into Friday night’s game.

West Virginia beat up on Marshall Sunday night for a final score of 94-71.

West Virginia (26-10) took control with a 19-0 first-half run. Kevin Carter’s three 3-pointers in the first five minutes of the second half made sure there wouldn’t be a rally coming from the 13th-seeded Thundering Herd. Carter added five assists, five steals and four rebounds and did it in just 29 minutes, sending West Virginia back to the round of 16 for the second straight year.
