VILLANOVA, Pa. -- Ryan Arcidiacono strode into the Pavilion with a national championship trophy raised high over his head and a bold decree for the Villanova fans stuffing the gym.Were going to go back-to-back, Arcidiacono told the roaring students. Im putting the pressure on right now.Pressure?The Wildcats are addicted to pressure and ready for a repeat -- but first it was time to party and celebrate the 2016 national championship.Lets get ready to rock this house, coach Jay Wright bellowed to the crowd.The Wildcats unveiled the national championship banner and received their rings Friday night at a students-only ceremony that saw the team dancing and dunking, and even featured a little jig from 81-year-old former coach Rollie Massimino.Wright seemed to have a catch in his voice when he presented Massimino with a national championship ring. Massimino, who led the Wildcats to the `85 title, hired Wright as an assistant in 1987 and the two have been tight for 30 years.The Wildcats even raised a new and modern 1985 championship banner to match the one in the rafters for 2016.Arcidiacono, cut last week by the San Antonio Spurs, received one of the loudest ovations from the 5,000-plus fans who? lined up hours before the doors opened for the campus ceremony. Arcidiacono made the pass to Kris Jenkins for the biggest shot in program history -- his buzzer-beating 3-pointer in a 77-74 win over North Carolina in the national championship game.The Wildcats marched out in two single-file lines with heads bowed and a hand on a teammates shoulder. Villanova senior forward Darryl Reynolds told the fans all of our lives matter to start the ceremony.Josh Hart, the Big East preseason player of the year, took the mic and yelled, Whose house it?!Our house! fans screamed back.You all show some love for my brother Kris Jenkins, Hart said.Jenkins received a massive ovation when he walked out for the celebration. Massimino shuffled his feet for a short dance when he was introduced to the crowd by ESPN announcer Seth Greenberg.Wright climbed the ladder used to cut the nets in Houston and tossed T-shirts to the crowd.It hits you in different phases, Wright said. Its been over for me. But you kind of relive it again tonight.Wildcat fans hurled blue and white streamers on the court after the first basket of a scrimmage and Wright called the play-by-play action from the bench. He made the losing blue team that included Hart and starting guard Jalen Brunson get down for 10 push-ups because they lost.Then rapper Wiz Khalifa got the joint jumping.The Wildcats always close their Hoops Mania night with one of the biggest stars in hip-hop. Drake, 50 Cent and Nicki Minaj have all performed before at Hoops Mania. The tradition continued with Khalifa as students stormed the court for the best standing-room-only spot to watch him perform.But the Wildcats went old school for the banner celebration, blasting Kool and the Gangs Celebration as the players danced on the court.That was a great celebration of last year, Wright said, and we want you guys to keep partying as long as you want to.

Rosberg has won all three of 2016s grands prix thus far and opened up a 36-point advantage at the top of the drivers championship after victory in Shanghai where Hamilton finished seventh.However, with a record 21 races this year, Wolff insists the title fight is far from over with 18 grands prix still to come. Asked if Rosberg was the favourite, the Austrian replied: No. It is just three out of 21, so statistically there is so much more to come that you cant speak about any favourite. Hamilton: Im out jokers Lewis Hamilton admits he cannot afford another poor weekend in 2016 At this stage of the season its about collecting points without looking at the championship.Lewis has every reason to be upset about the result.
