Villanova wasn’t tested as many No. 1 seeds aren’t against No. 16 seeds after shooting 63.2 percent from the field, their best shooting display in a decade since they shot 64.3 percent against Rutgers in 2005. Dylan Ennis led Villanova with 16 points as the Wildcats won for the 16th straight time.
They’ll look to make it 17 against a NC State team that played in one of the best games in the second round after they overcame a 16-point deficit to stun the LSU Tigers behind BeeJay Anya whose dunk beat the buzzer to give the Wolfpack a 66-65 win.
Anthony Barber led NC State with 17 points and Trevor Lacey led the team in rebounds, assists and steals but face a step up in competition in the form of the No. 1 seed Villanova Wildcats with a trip to the Sweet Sixteen on the line.
