2nd Round NCAA Tourney GOY - Villanova...... UCLA and Villanova clash early Saturday morning in the Wachovia Center, both looking to advance into next week's Sweet 16 action. HUGE home court advantage for the Philadelphia-based Wildcats, not to mention the early morning tipoff that gives the west coast Bruins the feel of a 7am start. Looking for more reasons to play the Cats in this particular matchup? How about the fact that in most games, Villanova foes have an edge depth-wise, as the Big East entry generally goes just 8 deep. But in UCLA's last two games, both life and death contests vs USC and Virginia Commonwealth, head coach Ben Howland has almost totally ignored his bench, playing his starters AN AVERAGE of 33.3 minutes per game! Also, there are severe matchup problems in the backcourt for the Bruins. Against VCU, Howland relied on star defender Darren Collison to blanket the Rams Eric Maynor. But Villanova owns FOUR top notch guards in Scottie Reynolds, Corey Stokes, Corey Fisher and Reggie Redding. Additionally, with much improved 6' 8', 230 lb. Dante Cunningham (16.3 ppg, 7.2 rpg) now getting more help on the blocks from senior Shane Clark and Antonio Pena, the Wildcats are, at the very least, the equal of the Bruins in the frontcourt.
