Villanova (and Villanova Flute Player) Upset by N.C. State

A Villanova flute player could barely play her song she was so upset by the loss to N.C. State.

N.C. State knocked off Villanova tonight, 71-68, marking the first departure of a No. 1 seed in this year's tournament. It's very sad, and the second straight year where Nova was sent home packing in the Round of 32. They made it interesting at the end with Darrun Hilliard drilling a number of big three-pointers, but they came up just short. This flute player in the Villanova band was absolutely heartbroken by the loss, and moved to tears, but the show must go on. That half-hearted choreography at the end there might be the saddest thing I've ever seen, though.
