#9 Villanova

by Peter Bard

National Championships: 1

Head Coach: Rollie Massimino

Nickname: Wildcats (snore)

Villanova, the third-best team called the Wildcats, gets most of its scoring punch from the perimeter, in particular from “Pitchin’ Paul” Arizin and Kerry Kittles. ABA superstar Bill Melchionni handles the point guard duties, and 1985 National Championship hero Ed Pinckney leads the frontcourt. Reynolds and Foye are an explosive backcourt combo off the bench.
