young men. we know that some of them make it to the nba but most, the majority don t. how do you prepare for them? coach wright has a wonderful way of reminding them not just about the basketball but life after basketball. we infuse the spirit about being hungry and humble. let s hope this is not the greatest thing donte ever does. he has more lives to effect. st. agustin said don t be content with what you are. if you grow pleased with yourself, there you shall remain. we have more mountains to climb and more work to do. that s a fire within him. martha: that s a great team. an amazing group. a lot of talk about the fact these players should be paid. obviously this is a big money
gave it back. jaylen brunson, the player of the year, he only had 9 points in the contest. no worries, villanova is super deal. donte scored 31 points off the bench. a sixth man in the national championship game. for that, he was awarded the most outstanding player of the final four. as coach jay wright and his team went on to win 79-62. the program s third overall title, they won their tournament game this year by listen to this all of them by at least 12 points. they never even had a close game. and it s never too early to start thinking about next year. of course, we don t really know which players and which teams are going to try to go pro, but the early westgate las vegas super bowl has decus the title favorite. the they have two incredible freshmen coming in next year. with villanova, kansas and kentucky, all the second tier
