Philadelphia's professional sports teams may be in the midst of various rebuilding phases, but a few miles down the Main Line, the area is home to the National Champions.

The Villanova Wildcats men's basketball team will celebrate their dramatic Monday win over North Carolina with a parade through Center City Friday, giving the city the celebration that seemed so impossibly far away. The parade will begin at 1 p.m. on Friday, April 8.

It is slated to progress from 20th and Market Street and conclude at Dilworth Park, Father Peter Donohue said in a letter sent to the Villanova community. The route will be about .4 miles long.
