3\. Villanova canceled classes today due to the win ==================================================

Immediately after Villanova won, the school's administration sent out this alert to the whole school:

“Due to last night’s historic win, Villanova University and Villanova Law are closed and all day and evening classes are canceled today, April 5, 2016. The University Bookstore is open today from 8 a.m. until 6 p.m.”

I'm sure that news made a great day even better for Villanova students.
