Bracket Projection: Villanova

The Villanova Wildcats entered last season's NCAA tournament as a No. 1 seed but failed to reach the Sweet 16. Jay Wright's club hasn't advanced to the second weekend of tournament play since reaching the Final Four in 2009. The Wildcats enter this tournament with a team comprising stars and unheralded glue guys. Villanova has had as much or more talent in recent memory but has not been able to follow through. Is this their year?
