I think this Villanova team was an all time team for the modern era of college basketball. So talented across the board. Michigan was a good team and once Villanova imposed their will, it was over!!
@@joehill1224honestly , I don’t know. I’ve never witnessed a more mature and well coached team than this Villanova team. Look how many players made the NBA and are elite players
That block at 6:40 is one of the best blocks ive ever seen! That got me hyped! Two handed block too hand straight up that was textbook. Divencenzo balled out all game long. Nova deserved it and Michigan showed that they were outmatched. THis was the first team Michigan played above a 5 seed all tourney long.
Took 14 minutes for Nova to get the lead. Complete domination after that and they slaughtered the whole tournament. Just proves coaching, discipline, defense, and teamwork will forever beat talent alone. Congrats to Michigan on a great season but this wasn't even close down the stretch. Jay just solidified himself and the program as top 2-3 in the nation. Go Nova, Vs up.
Sounds crazy to say, but Jay Wright and Villanova NEEDED this second national title to validate their ridiculous run of success over the past 5 years - a 165-21 record is incredible, but would not receive the recognition it deserves unless the postseason success was there to go along with it. Now that it is, they can take their deserved place in history.
They didn't receive the recognition because people claim they follow an easy schedule and have benefited from teams leaving the big east. Even though those same people don't realize you still have to win in the big tournaments and play with the best of them and they not only just won, but KILLED the opponents. And not just this year but when they won in '16, too except for the elite 8 and final against UNC.. Heck, Nova won the big 12 this year! Lol I remember idiots saying Nova would lose because they had no chance against "the tough big 12". Killed all their top teams by double digits.
Congrats to Villanova from a KU fan. Nova was clearly the best team. They had their way with everyone in the tournament. I can’t remember the last time I saw a team this good offensively.
I was rooting for Kansas in the Final Four, but wow, Villanova was just in another gear in this tournament. Once they got going, there was no stopping them. A fun team to watch, and once they get rolling, it is like an avalanche. Congrats to them and their fans, and they seem like a team that works so hard to achieve what they are aiming for, which is truly a reflection of their coach.
They won all their games in this years Dance by double digits. I don’t think North Carolina even did that in 2009. Except when they blew doors off Michigan State in Detroit.
That Davincino might spelled it wrong he deserve invite to NBA draft cause he performing bright lights big stage bridges and rockman was balling too but mvp clearly shooting NBA range 3s and athlete buddy from Nova
Donte was on the team when Nova won in 2016 my man, he just broke his foot in his 8th game and was given a medical redshirt. Technically he just finished his redshirt sophomore year.
This Nova team might be one of the best squads to ever play the college game. Total domination all season long and they clinically destroyed everybody in the tournament.
@@my1rule Super understandable. I was kinda annoyed with the hot takes after that night that hated on him and said he won't succeed in the league because he will be another white player who will flame out. But he's obviously athletic, has solid and fluid body control, and a really nice looking jumper. That is definitely translatable to the league.
I'm proud of my team, we started out strong and confident, but Nova is a solid all around opponent. Great season and wish we pulled it off, but good game!
Honestly no one can make an excuse for why Michigan lost or still say that Villanova won by luck. It’s obvious they had complete dominance in playmaking, offense, defense, everything
While his shot is not there on par with JJ Reddick's shot yet (don't forget how lethal JJ was in college), what separates Divincenzo is his ability to drive and attack the basket.
DiVincenzo was a one-man wrecking crew, he completely took over the game and nobody on Michigan's side could contain him. When you have it, you have it and he had it all night long.
Looking back at it now, the Nova Squad had promising NBA players on their roster and them playing in Nova's fast pace and space system and switch heavy defense really helped their development when they transitioned to the league. Brunson, Paschall, Bridges, DiVincenzo, and Spellman.
So did Michigan Villanova just went on a frenzy. The game was close until a little into the second half. Dante was the best player in this game and he’s not the most promising NBA player.
Thats so crazy that a kid i used to go to school with and played sports with plays for michigan and scored at the end of the game with like 10 sec left
where the f did this divincenzo dude come from? He was straight saucing them boys up. This dude looked nba ready except for his fr game. Got them bunnies.
1 more year to solidify himself as a first rounder. He only lacks handles. He has shooting, athleticism , defense and vision. Handles still not on nba level. A year would suffice
Nova may lose Divincenzo to NBA draft.. His stock went way up for NBA teams.. If Bridged is top 10 pick, Donte should be somewhere in mid 1st round.. his determination and leadership specially when Brunson had foul trouble, he accelerated performance.. He was clearly a difference in this game
Nah Donta is gonna be the man next year with some of Nova's key guys potentially heading to the NBA, he will be a starter. He should stay a year or 2 more cuz thats why Nova is so consistent with being a top team, keeping and developing all of their freshmen
I'm from Philly so far a Villanova national Championship and the Philadelphia Eagles Super Bowl Champions back to being the city of Champions !!! So go Flyers ... I love.my city best fans in the world !!!!!!!
I think its Jay Wrights system on defense. VU likes to run 3-4 guards and they require them to play good on ball defense and deny entry passes, which takes out the effectiveness of opponent's interior big men. Because as you can see, once Wagner got the ball inside, he was doing his thing.
There have 7 players yes 7 that can shoot this well. Eventually one of them will catch fire and the rest will follow suite. Just a dominant well disciplined team and he is a great 6th man coming off the bench.
I think this Villanova team was an all time team for the modern era of college basketball. So talented across the board. Michigan was a good team and once Villanova imposed their will, it was over!!
Better than the team that won before?
@@strength9621 yes. in fact I'll take a step further this Villnova team is the best all time
@@ballinwitac6090 I agree!
2024 🎉
Here because of the Villanova New York Knicks of 2023.
We love to see it😭
LGK
Happening now
here bcoz playoffs Knicks 2024
Same
When Villanova is on, and that has been most of the time this year, they make basketball look like art. Smooth and graceful.
6:44 is probably one of the most athletic plays I’ve ever seen. He got up so high for a guard players and didn’t bend back from the force wow
Divincenzo was in the zone, which is the key to Villanova’s easy victory. There is not much one can do about it when a player shoots like that.
Soj. H This is exactly what happened when Virginia played UMBC, what where they gonna do about lyles he was just too good.
DD was everywhere on that floor last night.
Back in 2021, Eric Pascall, Donte Divencenzo, Jalen Brunson, Mikal Bridges there was no way Michigan was winning this
Michigan had Wagner and Robinson though
and Poole@@CloverJam
I’d argue this team was top 5 all time. They played so well together.
UConn from this past year vs this Villanova team would’ve been a good game
@@joehill12242018 Villanova would still smack them they were just too well rounded
@@joehill1224honestly , I don’t know. I’ve never witnessed a more mature and well coached team than this Villanova team. Look how many players made the NBA and are elite players
That dude is like having terminator comin off the bench for Villanova
Villanova has become one of the most prominent basketball colleges over the last decade... They’re always there at the end of the season
This Donte Divincenzo killed us.....
Ahmed Abdikadir I think he is nba ready and doesn't even start, what!!!

Villanova are the Warriors of the NCAA
IMMORTAL DRAGON but Better
? Rockets raptors?
only if they repeat what they did this year
They are now the Knicks of 2024!
Took 14 minutes for Nova to get the lead. Complete domination after that and they slaughtered the whole tournament. Just proves coaching, discipline, defense, and teamwork will forever beat talent alone. Congrats to Michigan on a great season but this wasn't even close down the stretch. Jay just solidified himself and the program as top 2-3 in the nation. Go Nova, Vs up.
Nova probably has better talent than Michigan.
Michigan actually has a pretty good coach too...Villanova was just better tonight.
Lol Villinova had way more talent than Michigan, kind of a misinformed comment
having a dude drop 31 off the bench doesn't hurt, either.......especially when the ap player of the yr has an off night.
Kanthasamy Elankumaran eeeehhhh nah
michigan fans have nothing to be ashamed of - villanova was just too good #BIGEAST
WuTangFan1000 lol they did great they got this far....
Yeah. Still got tons of bragging rights on my friends who are all Michigan state fans
As a Villanova grad, one son that went, and daughter there now, I couldn’t be more proud. Thanks to all for a great season.
the title should be “ Divincenzo vs Michigan”
Hahahahaha.
Where's that guy now though?? Is he drafted?
Sport Trends plays for the Milwaukee Bucks.
Sport Trends bucks
Sport Trends starter
Super Bowl and National Championship. Congrats Pennsylvania!
Who said white men can't jump 6:50
Divincenzo!
_And just like that the Villanova 4 are reunited!_

Thank you villinova for beating michigan after they beat loyola
Somebody went god mode today lol. ggwp DiVincenzo.
Wow the energy and intensity of this game will never be touched in any NBA finals.
Not that deep. Single elimination is always intensely different no matter the sport
that kid divine chorizo from nova went off
Here because we just got Mikal Bridges !
That boi Donte was feeling it today
That performance he put on ..... just wow
That Davincino might spelled it wrong he deserve invite to NBA draft cause he performing bright lights big stage bridges and rockman was balling too but mvp clearly shooting NBA range 3s and athlete buddy from Nova
Greatest shooting college team of all-time. Bar none
Congrats to the Villanova Wildcats, and Another National Championship for the Philly Area in 3 Months - thank you from Joe S
This game featured two of the classiest coaches in the game. Love Beilein and Wright
No one was beating Villanova tonight. It's very tough to guard 4-5 shooters.
another freshman winning a National Title...first Tua and now Donte.....freshman...you gotta love em
Donte was on the team when Nova won in 2016 my man, he just broke his foot in his 8th game and was given a medical redshirt. Technically he just finished his redshirt sophomore year.
Wow Philly is KILLING IT in Sports
SmithN' Wesson Hopefully the Flyers and Sixers can go far lol
SmithN' Wesson, You Got That Right!! Northeast Philly In The House!!
Undefeated in April. Never complain & never explain. Go Cats!
Villanova is a class act for all their teams. Small Catholic college outside Philadelphia on the Main Line.
Villanova has done it again congrats.
Anyone but duke, UNC, KU or UK.
Arsenio Buck why you hating on UK and duke😂
Arsenio Buck duke wins next year
Arsenio Buck KU FOR LIFE
and NC
Kris Brown do you have proof?
Congratulations NOVA!
1st half was close, but 2nd total blowout!
This Nova team might be one of the best squads to ever play the college game. Total domination all season long and they clinically destroyed everybody in the tournament.
When I watch Nova work I see Bucks, Mavs, warriors, t wolves and suns out there.
Congratulations to Villanova & there fans 🏀 Champions !!!!!
Nice job Michigan, you did ur best this yr~ Go blue~
That two handed block was special. Michigan looked very athletic. Villanova played with a lot of heart
DiVincenzo did it on both ends of the court. Great game.
Divincenzo will not succeed in the NBA...they administer drug test...clearly the kid was on something...am i the only one seeing this?
@@my1rule There is no drug that you take and become super athlete for a game.
@@my1rule Or he will be a solid young and key piece for the first seed Bucks.
@@ThaiTran-oj5ls I agree, I was upset with him that night for touching my Wolverines.
@@my1rule Super understandable. I was kinda annoyed with the hot takes after that night that hated on him and said he won't succeed in the league because he will be another white player who will flame out.
But he's obviously athletic, has solid and fluid body control, and a really nice looking jumper. That is definitely translatable to the league.
both these teams had so much NBA talent.
DiVincenzo paints a masterpiece. SuperNova is clearly the superior team in all of college basketball.
lol today I asked my friend when the march madness final four game starts and he's like, dude... Villanova already won the championship.
Either your sarcastic joke is uncannily unfunny or you are an idiot. "March" madness... c'mon.
No it actually happened lol I'm an idiot
woo the freaking three point from downtown is crazy.
I'm proud of my team, we started out strong and confident, but Nova is a solid all around opponent. Great season and wish we pulled it off, but good game!
Honestly no one can make an excuse for why Michigan lost or still say that Villanova won by luck. It’s obvious they had complete dominance in playmaking, offense, defense, everything
DiVincenzo reminds me of JJ Reddick. I can see him going to the NBA, he can shoot off the screen very well
While his shot is not there on par with JJ Reddick's shot yet (don't forget how lethal JJ was in college), what separates Divincenzo is his ability to drive and attack the basket.
76ers and Flyers next lol
DiVencenzo probably always reminds Poole of that massive double block in practice now that they're teammates in the NBA lol
First the Eagles, now the Wildcats, plus the 76ers are in the playoffs and could go deep, looks like a pretty good year for Philly sports
DiVincenzo was a one-man wrecking crew, he completely took over the game and nobody on Michigan's side could contain him. When you have it, you have it and he had it all night long.
When you keep hearing the same name being called out before a shot you know he's feeling it
Looking back at it now, the Nova Squad had promising NBA players on their roster and them playing in Nova's fast pace and space system and switch heavy defense really helped their development when they transitioned to the league.
Brunson, Paschall, Bridges, DiVincenzo, and Spellman.
So did Michigan Villanova just went on a frenzy. The game was close until a little into the second half. Dante was the best player in this game and he’s not the most promising NBA player.
MY KNICKS GUYS ARE GOATED
Thats so crazy that a kid i used to go to school with and played sports with plays for michigan and scored at the end of the game with like 10 sec left
as of today, 8 of these guys are nba players
Michigan (3)
Wagner
Robinson
Poole
Villanova (5)
Brunson
Divincenzo
Bridges
Paschall
Spellman
You forgot Josh Hart
Forgot Ryan Arciodiano and Josh Hart
@@schlhq that video is 2018 NCAA championship, Josh Hart and Ryan isn't part of 17-18 season
From a UK fan, congrats a great season!
Loyola Chicago vs Villanova would have been a better game honestly! 🔥
Would have been the same result
Angel Snow and how do you figure?
But Villanova just crushed the team that smacked Loyola, so.... I DO NOT THINK SO
the best teams got beat an exited early . nova, kansas was really the only teams final 4 worthy Loyola shouldve been sent home against miami
Lord Warhol the nets have beat the warriors... anything can happen
The shooting was fire... the DEFENSE was nuclear.
where the f did this divincenzo dude come from? He was straight saucing them boys up. This dude looked nba ready except for his fr game. Got them bunnies.
Mari E I believe because of his last name, he has to be born in Italy because his parents are of course.
that kid brunson looks good, I see all-star potential and would be a PERFECT fit on the Knicks
So many nba players in this game
I am happy for Vilanova but also I am sad because my family is from Michigan!! But I am still very proud for how far Michigan got!!
Villanova is now among the elite.
From the start of the 2nd half this game was over. Hats off to Villanova! Wow 2 championships in 3 years crazy. Still rock chalk tho! Lol
I hope Villanova gets back to the final four in 2020
A lot of people are hoping that including me!!
Yea about that...
Di Vicenzo .... unbelievable .....
To be honest I wanted Loyola Chicago to win:) My favorite team is Grand Canyon University though
Suzanne Agundez Villanova would've beat them by 50
Years later their top 3 players are solid nba players
This team could have come back & won another title the next year.
Looking back, this nova team was actually stacked
Hope divincenzo declared to the draft .. celtics needs you
I approve this message ;)
1 more year to solidify himself as a first rounder. He only lacks handles. He has shooting, athleticism , defense and vision. Handles still not on nba level. A year would suffice
Truth he has handles though he’s probably the second ball handler on this team only behind Brunson
HAZZARD 14* & he is 6th man of the year . It’s hard to average more when Brunson averages 20 and Mikal Bridges averages 18 .
nope hes gonna go warriors
So many GOOD NBA PLAYERS IN JUST THOSE TWO TEAMS NOW
2018 NCAA Marchness Final:
Cenzo 79 - Michigan 62
that nova team had so many nba players. Definitely a historical team.
Nova may lose Divincenzo to NBA draft.. His stock went way up for NBA teams.. If Bridged is top 10 pick, Donte should be somewhere in mid 1st round.. his determination and leadership specially when Brunson had foul trouble, he accelerated performance.. He was clearly a difference in this game
He came to play no joke........ and you are right, he is gone to the N.B.A with that performance
Divincenzo looked special tonight
Nah Donta is gonna be the man next year with some of Nova's key guys potentially heading to the NBA, he will be a starter. He should stay a year or 2 more cuz thats why Nova is so consistent with being a top team, keeping and developing all of their freshmen
I doubt he will pass up millions of dollars, but we`ll see.
HAZZARD anyways he will be gettin millions and he better take the opportunity now before something tragic happens and get hurt
Big man from Michigan to the league
Villanova can beat Cleveland Cavaliers #facts
yup thats how it works
You’re smoking
#false
Villanova Brothers Reunited, let's GO KNICKS🔶🔵🗽.
Here because the Knicks just traded for Mikal Bridges and they got 4 Villanova guys nowwww
Same.. just wanna see the hype!! 😂😂
I'm from Philly so far a Villanova national Championship and the Philadelphia Eagles Super Bowl Champions back to being the city of Champions !!! So go Flyers ... I love.my city best fans in the world !!!!!!!
They talk about Gonzaga. This Villanova team would beat Gonzaga. I don’t have any doubts in my mind about this
Here to see the new Villanova Knicks of 2024🎉
Michigan made a huge mistake, I think coach had no options , running with villanova was a huge mistake. Huge mistake!
I think its Jay Wrights system on defense. VU likes to run 3-4 guards and they require them to play good on ball defense and deny entry passes, which takes out the effectiveness of opponent's interior big men. Because as you can see, once Wagner got the ball inside, he was doing his thing.
Go NOVA!!!! Congratulations (again)!!!!!!
“Villanova can’t drive into the paint, they only shoot risky 3s...” So???
Never change a winning horse.
For some reason....this remind me of when Marcus Williams played for Nova the tourny use to GO CRAZY !!!!
How's DiVincenzo not even a starter?
wmw0702 because the team is stacked lol
wmw0702 Because of Brunson, Bridges, Spellman, Pashcall and Booth :)
wmw0702 because they wanted scoring off the bench, he comes in really quick and plays starter minutes
There have 7 players yes 7 that can shoot this well. Eventually one of them will catch fire and the rest will follow suite. Just a dominant well disciplined team and he is a great 6th man coming off the bench.
Good question
Late congrats from KU fan. That was an amazing game.
Amazing!!
First the Philadelphia Eagles are the 2018 Super Bowl Champions and now the Villanova Wildcats are the 2018 National Champions.
New York Knicks reunite these 4 Villanova Boyz once again. The chemistry will hit once more. Goodluck!
