The better team doesn't always win...

1985. 8 Seed Villanova, beats 1 Seed Georgetown. Their third meeting of the year. The Hoyas swept the season series 2-0. If it had been a 10 game format, I'd say Georgetown wins 8 or 9. That night, Villanova played basically a perfect game, shooting 79% overall, and *90%* in the Second Half, to win by *two* points. Villanova won the Tournament, and the Wildcats were crowned National Champions. Did the odds all of a sudden change, after one game? It is like rolling a die, and you have to get a 6, otherwise you lose. You get that six on the first roll. You're still going to be a 5-1 underdog, if you roll again. ** Edited by HokieNL at 3/20/2026, 1:50:21 PM
