I am heading to Detroit for the Final Four. It was pure excitement last weekend in Boston as Villanova beat Duke and Pitt.
The past few months, there have been some interesting correlations between VSB and the Wildcats. Earlier in the year, BusinessWeek had VSB ranked #13 and then the basketball team soon earned the same position in the national rankings. Then VSB jumped up to the #11 spot, and the team quickly followed. Now, of course the basketball team is in the Final Four, and I am quite fine with the team finishing ahead of us this year. We will catch them next year.
Regardless, there is a lot of excitement about the progress of the entire university - with basketball and the business school being two prominent examples of the drive towards national recognition. Of course, it is outstanding students receiving an outstanding education that truly distinguishes Villanova.
