♠ Posted by channel-top-news in ,,,,,,, at 16:03

The Lafayette men's basketball team got hot at the right time this year. The Leopards ran through the Patriot League tournament en route to a championship and the automatic NCAA bid that comes with it.


Then comes Selection Sunday, where the Leopards learned their seed and who their first round opponent will be.



Lafayette earned a 16-seed. Their first round opponent will be the Big East champion Villanova Wildcats. The second number one seed in the tournament.



The all-Pennsylvania showdown will be played on Thursday, fittingly, in Pittsburgh.



It's Lafayette's first appearance in the NCAA Tournament in 15 years. A 16-seed has never defeated a one seed.
