The Ides of March see us seeded first in the NCAA East Region. The other top seeds are Kentucky (West), Boston College (Midwest), and Louisville (South).

March 19, 2038
NCAA East Region, First Round
(1) #1 Villanova 106, (16) Albany 47
Two Wildcats achieve career highs in scoring as we muzzle the Great Danes.

Charlie Lambert drills 7 of 11 three-pointers en route to a 32-point game. Dane Barlow goes 6-for-9 behind the arc and finishes with 27.

Sebastian Roberts (15p/12r), Luke Christensen (12p/2s) and Demetrius Reed (0p/8r/3b) provide strong support.

I looked it up, and over the course of his career, Demetrius has blocked more of his opponents' shots (120) than he has made (111). Lafayette's Samuel Davis did that, too, and Big Sazzy's difference was even greater (403 blocks, 286 FGM).

Maybe true Blue Collar Men do this more often than I thought. Ezra Love only made 22 more shots than he blocked in his career, and he was the #1 pick in the pro draft.
Record: 33-2.

March 21, 2038

(1) #1 Villanova 88, (8) Vanderbilt 84

Player of Game: PF Sebastian Roberts (VLNV)

Charlie Sutton nearly fires the Commodores to an upset, but Sebastian Roberts won't let that happen. Villanova's junior center scores a career-high 35 points to lead his team to victory.

The game is tied, 37-37 at halftime. Seb scores 22 of his points in the second period, and we need almost every one of them. In fact, Sutton nearly ties the score at 87 with 11 seconds left, but his shot kicks in and out. It's only one of two threes he'll miss.

Charlie's still had a heck of a season. I'll include a look at it in my year-end reports.
Record: 34-2.

March 26, 2038
NCAA East Region Semifinal: the Sweet Sixteen
(1) #1 Villanova 82, (4) #17 Kansas State 55
Dane Barlow authors a 16-point, 8-assist, 8-rebound performance to lead Villanova to the East Region final.

Zayden Calhoun scores 20 and rebounds 8, while Seb Roberts finishes with 14 points, 5 boards, and 2 steals.
Record: 35-2.

March 28, 2038
NCAA East Region Final: the Elite Eight
(1) #1 Villanova 102, (2) #6 West Virginia 91
We get the better of a former conference foe, with several Wildcats making crucial contributions.

Sebastian Roberts is named PotG on the strength of his 19 points, 11 rebounds, and 5 assists. Zayden Calhoun (20p/8r/3s) would have been another fine choice, as would Charlie Lambert (24p/5r). Dane Barlow (14p/7a) and Luke Christensen (13p) also perform well.

Rod Brinkman scores 30 points for the Mountaineers, and Jack Edwards adds 27. You might remember us recruiting Edwards three years ago. He's lived up to that #2 overall ranking.

We earn a spot in the Final Four once again. This is Graham's seventh trip to the Final Four at Villanova, and his ninth overall.
Record: 36-2.
