Villanova dominated their game against UCLA on Saturday as they advanced to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament, following an 89-69 drubbing of the Bruins.

Villanova began the game on fire and were more aggressive and physical than their sixth ranked opponent throughout the entire game. Two days after their sub par performance against American University, Villanova did what they said they needed to do; they put together a complete game and played aggressive for 40 minutes. The Wildcats led by 13 at halftime and never looked back. Dante Cunningham led the Wildcats with 18 points and helped lead them to their fourth Sweet 16 appearance in five years. The Wildcats, who shot 47% from the field, also dominated on defense, forcing 20 turnovers and grabbing 39 rebounds.
