Getting your player ready...

Villanova coach Jay Wright’s 10-year-old daughter, Reilly, decided midway through the season her dad needed a good-luck charm before big games, so she gave him a miniature stuffed pig. He has kept the pig safely tucked in his suit’s inside pocket, and he’ll have it Saturday against North Carolina. “I certainly didn’t want my players knowing I had a little pig in my pocket,” Wright said. “It was between me and my daughter. Well, not anymore. Now, it’s just embarrassing.” Maybe, but the Wildcats haven’t had a two-game losing streak all season and are in their first Final Four in 24 years. The Associated Press; AP photo
