My Arizona Wildcats looked awfully good today and I like our chances against Villanova so long as the refs that were in Chicago last year don't show up. All I ask for is a fair game from the refs and no cheap fouls to alter momentum.

Arizona matches up well with Villanova. Nova's strength is their guard play and outside shooting. Arizona's strength is their defensive play from their guards. Hassan Adams, Chris Rodgers, and Daniel Dillon are all solid defenders and they will get in the face of Nova shooters. Ivan Radenovic has been a steady performer for Arizona inside and should be able to score close to 20 points against Nova. In reality, the biggest advantage I see for Nova is that they play in front of their home crowd, and this is huge in tournament play. I am really looking forward to this matchup.
