Villanova "cheering section" hitting the road

VILLANOVA, Pa. (WPVI) -- About 700 Villanova students are headed to Houston, after winning the university's ticket lottery.

The action cam caught up with a few of them outside the Connelly Center Thursday afternoon.

These dedicated fans all agree, the final four is a once in a lifetime opportunity.

Villanova Senior Abby Gagis justifies the cost saying "It's a little bit of an expensive trip but definitely worth it. i think a few of us are tapping into the graduation fund early."

Villanova Senior Chris Kotwicki is also excited "You're top 500 in the lottery, this is what you've gone to every single game for. Villanova's in and this is amazing, i don't have words for it really."

Both of those students are headed to Texas with a group of 35 friends.

Definitely a trip they'll never forget.
