But does anyone pay attention to Villanova's soft schedule? Im not trying to make a case for gonzaga, i dont like gonzaga at all, but Villanova with 3 loses has not proved much more than Zaga. The big east is stronger than the WCC but not that much stronger. Xavier and Creighton turned out to be phony, and the only other Solid team in the big east, Butler, Nova lost to twice.

Nova's out of conference schedule Notre Dame (home), Purdue(away), and UVA(home) only solid teams they played

I think gonzagas out of conference was tougher

Gonzaga played Florida (home) Iowa State (at home) and Arizona (at home)

And atleast Gonzaga swept St Marys

Like I said, im not a gonzaga fan, i think i have them getting knocked out in Sweet 16.. But i really wouldnt be shocked if nova gets knocked out in the second round to wisconsin ( who was severely mis-seeded.. MD #6 and Minn #5?!?!?!?!?) horrible for nova to have to potentially face them in the second round
