Students and faculty at Villanova University Charles Widger School of Law are setting aside their casebooks and lecture notes Tuesday and celebrating the Wildcats' NCAA men's basketball victory Monday.

The university and law school closed Tuesday as students recovered from a night of revelry and prepared to welcome the victorious team back to campus.

Villanova fans flooded out into campus and nearby streets Monday night after the Wildcats secured the national title by defeating the University of Michigan in a 79-62 blowout. It marked the second time in three years that the school took home the championship trophy.

The team was due to arrive at the Philadelphia airport at 4:45 Tuesday, then continue on to a celebration at Villanova Stadium. (The team is also scheduled to have a victory parade through Philadelphia on Thursday, but law students will presumably be back in class then.)

Closing the law school created at least one headache, however. It forced the rescheduling of the 41st Annual Donald A. Giannella Memorial Lecture, featuring Yale Law School professor Anthony Kronman. That event will now be held on April 24.

Villanova put up an impressive performance through the March Madness tournament, winning all six games by double-digit margins.

There was a legal angle to the team's dominating performance. Its chaplain, Rev. Rob Hagan—known as Father Rob—went to law school at Widener University and practiced as a lawyer for seven years before becoming ordained in 2003, according to a story in The New York Times. He joined Villanova's athletic department to work on compliance matters, then took over team chaplain duties in 2014. These days, Hagan delivers a pre-game prayer with the team before each game.
