>the NCAA in 1985??

I do. Villanova beat Goergetown (who was considered to be the best) Memphis
ST., North Carolina, Michigan and Dayton to win the distinction of being
the best team in college basketball for 1985. Anyone who followed Villanova
basketball for atleast the last four years knows they always had the     
potential to do what they did last year. Just because they realized that
potential in the last 6 games doeasn't mean they weren't the best team. I 
mean if they would have started the season the way they ended it I think
they would have been rated #1 in all the poles. Also the way I judge how
good any team in any sport is, is by the way they play when the money is on
e table not the way they go thru their schedule.

p.s. The 3 games against Georgetown; 1 went to OT, 1 was a 2 pt game and the 
     other was a 10 pt game that Villanova was in until about the 3 min mark.
