What do you guys think about Ellenson? Should he be a top 10 pick? Shame for Marquette to lose him after one year.

Jamal Murray is re-establishing himself after having been moved off the ball. The more I see him the more I think he should be a top 4-5 pick. He can handle and shoot and has size. I would still take him over Kris Dunn and Hield.

Separated at birth!

Hard to tell them apart from a distance with their shaved heads.

Assuming X and MSU win today I am thinking
1 Kansas
2 Xavier
3 Nova
4 Mich St
5 UVa

I have read much on the board that it is likely that we will be playing in NYC for the 1st round of the NCAA. I know that the regional site is Wells Fargo in Philly. I am hoping to get a broader participation among the students by getting an ad in the Villanovan this year.

I am trying to plan out the prize for the "Student Challenge" winner and want to know:
1) How likely will we be in NYC for the 1st round?
2) Is there any chance that we would be placed out of the East?


This years award will likely include a cash amount that is TBD as well as prepaid access to VU events......but I am pursuing hotel accommodations in NYC for a few nights. Hoping that I can get a few nights worked into this year's prize.

Time to fess up. Preseason I picked X to win the regular season with Nova second. Where did I go wrong. Primarily in two areas,defense and player development which were both underestimated. Cheer up guys as I am now predicting X to win the Big East tournament.

The two huddle "look-ins" at Wojo.

Wow

I don't know the league as well as most,but I would say....
Dunn
Bentil
Hart
Ellinson (frosh)
I'm sure there are others?

i am happy to inform you that Villanova now has a one game lead in the BE standings with 2 games to play.
If X wins tomorrow, the lead is cut to a half game.
If X loses tomorrow, the lead grows to 1.5 games

single handedly keeping Raptors cloe...32 points,7 assists....still 5 mins to go
Man,I love that guys game

High energy game. Pirates up 41-25, 4 minutes left 1st half

-46 points
-12 3's (tied for most ever in a game)
-Broke his own single season record for 3's (24 games left)
-pull up from 38 ft for the game winner.

He in unquestionably the best shooter of the basketball ever. People keep saying he isn't the best in the game today, but no one can beat him.

John Rothstein reporting he has been suspended 3 games for violation of team rules.

I am pulling for Butler, Villanova, Providence, Seton Hall, and Creighton.

This is the first time in four weeks that Rivals granted me access to Nova Nation. In the X game when
they were getting and making good looks to increase their lead, much of the time KJ and DO were
sitting. I have a feeling that both of them have a part in calling out or pointing to players about where the players should be on D. I think it might be a part of Jay's scheme. I will watch that closely this afternoon.
Any thoughts

538k...second highest regular season game on FS1 behind Gtown MSU and top big east game on FS1.

The Villanova basketball Class of 2016 has a chance to tie the 1996 UConn team for most regular season Big East wins ever by a graduating class:

Our leaders played well. Jenkins is developing into a star before our eyes. Would have taken 1 -1 before this week.


I will say I don't think they have the look of a contender. Not having a true go to guy, limited athleticSm is evident and we just don't have that look to me,

Also , to me, our bench production and quality is very concerning

Calling the Georgetown - Butler game on real CBS right now. Best game analyst I've ever heard and its not even close.

I didn't realize Gtown hasn't been to the S16 since their Final 4 in 07.

...we fall in the rankings?....if X loses do they stay below us?...

I was watching the movie Lean on Me today and in the scene where Morgan Freeman calls all the teachers into the gym to berate them, you can clearly see a banner hanging that says "Rory Sparrow Class of 1976." I've watched this movie a million times and never noticed that til today.

That's the same HS as Randy Foye right?

Do we have a preference as it relates to being the 1 in the east?

Looking for 1 for Georgetown. Email: steve@rslawyers.net

Putting my 6 year old to bed tonight....he says to me: "Dad, I want to change my name to (said with perfect inflection) Arcidiacono."
