A nice all-around effort from the Cats on Sunday.

It certainly wasn't the most inspiring win, but it was a win.


It was kind of a weird game that just felt like it lacked juice. I don't want to sound like I'm criticizing the guys' effort, because I think they were putting forth effort and you don't hold a team to 31% shooting without effort, but I don't know, it felt like watching a game between two teams that knew they had nothing to play for. Am I off base there? Regardless, certainly not in a position to be picky about wins and it was a good defensive showing even when accounting for opponent.

I don't even know what to say anymore.

Villanova will be without freshman forward Josiah Moseley on Saturday due to an illness.

With a little lull in the schedule it's a good time to get caught up on the happenings in recruiting.
