"Who the hell do they think they are?" a rumpled and charged-up Rollie Massimino shouted to his players – and anyone else who would listen – after running off the floor at halftime of the biggest game of his coaching career. Through perseverance, determination and family values, his team, the Wildcats of Villanova University, became an inspiration to a whole generation in 1985.

Thanks to a change in format that called for an expanded field from 53 teams to 64, Rollie's squad was awarded an invitation to the grueling obstacle course that is the NCAA Tournament. Navigating through five rounds of play to the championship game, they found themselves in an unlikely position – a dogfight with their conference rival and the defending National Champions, Georgetown University. The Hoyas, led by awe-inspiring center Patrick Ewing, were known for dominant play but were characterized by their swagger, intimidating style and arrogance. Hoyas coach John Thompson felt that his team in 1985 was even better than the one that captured the National Championship a year prior and that another title was their destiny.

Just as the first half of the1985 title game ended, one of Georgetown's players took a seemingly cheap shot at Villanova's Chuck Everson, prompting Massimino's fiery locker room response. "They can't do that to us. That's it! We're going to kick their ass!"

What then occurred in the second half stunned the sports world and altered the NCAA record books. The 1985 Villanova men’s basketball team, against indiscernible odds, defeated Georgetown to capture the NCAA Championship.

Twenty years later, the Wildcats' victory remains one of the greatest upsets in sports history. This is the story of how a coach transformed a group of players from a small Catholic university outside of Philadelphia into a championship team by coaching the same way he liked his home cooked Italian meals…family style.
