NEW ORLEANS—Villanova got its first look at the Caesars Superdome on Thursday morning as the team practiced on the court, met with the media and took part in promotional opportunities for this weekend's Final Four in New Orleans. Perhaps the most recognizable person in the building was Wildcats redshirt senior guard Caleb Daniels, a New Orleans native who began his collegiate career at Tulane before transferring to Villanova after the 2018-19 season.
 
"It's honestly a true blessing and honor to be part of this, to have the Final Four here," Daniels said during the Wildcats press conference on Thursday morning. "I think so far I would describe [my career] as a marathon. I've never let the best of me or the worst of me dictate who I was in the moment. I just stayed in the moment, stayed where my feet were, kept my head in it and realized it's one day at a time. I think that's just being around my teammates, being around guys that's pushing me every day, holding me accountable to be the best version of myself."
