Jay Wright Tradition Quotations

Villanova fans have seen a lot of great classes. For our staff, this class is going to always be special to us, no matter what they do this year. They really helped us establish what we wanted to do here: re-establish the tradition here at Villanova.

When Villanova's rated as one of the top four teams in the country and a No. 1 seed, I think it talks a lot about the respect, not just of this season, but it's respect for the tradition of the program.

I don't think (the selection committee) looked at this season as a shock. I think they looked at from the standpoint that Villanova has done this before. They had a great year. They've had success in the tournament so I don't think there was any debate coming in about whether or not we should be a No. 1. They play in the best conference in the country. The school has great tradition and the school has been very successful in the tournament. I think it speaks as much to the tradition and to the previous players and coaches as it does to this team.
