Aftermath
The NCAA vacated 23 of Villanova's wins in the 1970–71 season including its appearance in the 1971 NCAA Tournament due to issues with the eligibility of Howard Porter.
This would be Villanova's last appearance in the title game until 1985, where they would go on a Cinderella run to the national title.
