After winning the 2016 National Championship, the Villanova Wildcats received the No. 1 overall seed in the 2017 NCAA Tournament as they attempted to become the first back-to-back champions since Florida in 2006-07.
On Saturday, the Wildcats’ attempt at a second consecutive title came to a screeching halt as they were upended by the Wisconsin Badgers, 65-62.
Needless to say, Twitter was shocked by the result:
