Hey guys we helped Brian Karalunas win this award just a few years ago. Now its time to support John LoCasio. John is in 2nd place only to Brian Karalunas in the VU record books for Caused Takaways and Ground Balls. He's an excellent athlete, student and individual who is the heart and soul of Nova's defense and the entire team. You can view John's profile and vote for him daily via the attached link[/B].

John is up about 6.7%[/B] over the 2nd place candidate, MD's Micheal Ernhardt. That is an increase of .6% over yesterday. The contest doesn't end until May 12th. MD is a Big State U with a large lax fan base so its important that we expand and sustain the voting for John. There is no time to relax until the voting ends on May 12th.

Get your friends, family and co-workers to vote for John. You, as well as your family, friends and co-workers, can vote 1x per day from each computer that you/they have access to. In other words, any person can vote multiple times per day if they have access to multiple computers. There is no time to relax. Each day remember to Vote Early and Vote Often!

Devon Kane first team; Caroline Coyer and Emiky Leer second team. Awards banquet April 14 at the Palestra @ $50 per. Our VU men award recipients will be recognized as well at the banquet.

I have an Iowa State friend looking for tickets.....if you have ones you want to unload, email me on jerryquinn_us@yahoo.com

Villanova generally played good defense, because practically every time GW was on offense, GW either lost control of the ball or missed a shot.

Unfortunately, practically every time GW fumbled the ball or missed a shot, they got it right back.

On many GW possessions, especially in the second half, GW missed 2 or three shots, but always got the offensive rebounds.

For the game, GW outrebounded Villanova by 22, 53-31.

Villanova got to within 4 in the second half, but when a team keeps giving the other team second and third opportunities, surely it's difficult to win.

After Villanova closed to within 4 at 46-42, GW missed 4 shots and grabbed 4 rebounds in the next 40 seconds, before finally making a layup. Villanova never got that close again.

How often does Villanova win when they get outrebounded by 22?

In the Big East Tournament loss to Marquette, in which Marquette outrebounded Villanova 7-0 at the end of the game and won 56-53, the taller Marquette team only outrebounded Villanova by 9 for the game. Even in the 26 point loss earlier in the season to DePaul at DePaul, Villanova was only outrebounded by 9.

Other NIT observations:

1) I thought the officiating was pretty dreadful in both NIT games. I thought Quinnipiac was hurt in the first game by bad officiating, and I think Villanova was hurt in this game by bad officiating. Especially bad was the play in the second half where the ref called a jump ball and the head ref overruled her and called a foul on Villanova. Also, Kavunaa Edwards was called for travelling by the same head ref when it didn't appear Edwards moved her feet.

2) Why did Harry only play Caroline Coyer 18 minutes in this game? I though the game might turn around in the second half after Caroline Coyer pushed a GW player after a struggle for the ball and the referee warned both players. Caroline Coyer seemed to be fired up after that play and scored 9 points in the second half. However, Villanova never seemed to go on a sustained run, and after Leer fouled out, GW drove to the hoop on every possession or took 5 foot jumpers. Which GW kept missing over and over, but always got the rebound.

3) As I wrote earlier, GW beat St. Joseph's in the A-10 Tournament, and split with St. Joseph's during the regular season, and had a better A-10 conference record than St. Joseph's, so I'm not sure why St. Joseph's made the NCAA Tournament, while GW was placed in the NIT.

4) What can Villanova do to recruit another reliable rebounder in the tradition of Courtney Mix and Laura Sweeney?

Been a pleasure to watch for four years. I would rather get an Emily LIpari every four years than get all those blue-chippers.

Sprinter Melissa June (St. Anthony's HS, Huntington, NY) has committed to Villanova. Link to her DyeState page is attached.

I'm looking for 2 tickets to Saturday's game in Buffalo. For some reason I never received the season ticket holder form from the Ticket Office. Thanks.

Not to see our Cats in the mix tonight. Is St. Joe's outpacing us?

GO CATS!!!

Williamsz auto qualifier in the mile
Lipari also auto
Schappert 5th in heat -- might qualify if the 2nd heat is slow
Schappert out
Coogan from G'Twn not entered in the mile -- they will probably run her fresh in the DMR





Ellison advances in the 800
Margey out in the 800
Akande through in the 800
men's DMR was a pathetic performance
women's DMR not much better

Would someone please ask the coaching staff to take a look at Alexis Lewis at Holy Redeemer in Wilkes Barre. She possesses a skill set that would flourish in Harry's system.

Hi Guys. Looks like Villanova is in the lead for Siofra Cleirigh Buttner. Here's a link to an article in today's Independent (Ireland).

Siofra leaning to Villanova?

BET 3/13.

Sorry about the last minute notice....but I have a loyal Villanovan ('04) who is looking for 2 tickets in a suite or handicap accessible seats. All the accessible seats on Ticketmaster are gone.

If you can help me, I will forever be grateful and in your debt.

Text me on 703-307-7605. I do not have access to VU sports during work.

An alum Robert Moran just donated 7 million to the VSB,
but lost in the publicity was he gave 2 million to the Track
and Field Program. That must be a big boost for our programs.
I do not know how to do links, and I might screw this up. Go to Villanova
by the Numbers on your computer. There are about seven VU blog sites.
There hasn't been anything knew on the Villanova Running blog in weeks.
But on the list of blogs there is one about hoops where various people
make posts. It is the second from the top in the list of blogs. News of the
donation is on the blog second from the top. You must scroll down
a bit to find out about his donation.

Forgive me if this is old news. I am too old to learn how to do links.
I don't own a cell phone, and I should have been born in the 1800s.
This technical stuff drives me nuts.

Decided to go to Thursday game with my wife. Looking for two tickets. Anyone buy the strip that cannot go Thursday. You can call me at 517-974-7233 - Marc

Just perused the qualifiers for indoor NCAAs. Men had three individuals and DMR. Progress since no individuals qualified, last year. Women had four individuals and DMR. That is on par with Stanford and better than G'town.

No Piccirillo. Schappert made it based on last chance meet. Angel did not do as well. No McEntee. Won Big East 3000 in not so fast 8:10. Surprised they did not work harder at qualifying him.

But what was surprising was looking at qualifiers from other schools. Do a Google.

Top two women mile qualifiers were from Florida St. - and that excluded Georgia Peel. Thinking Penn Relays: that is three outstanding legs of a 4x1500.

Final female mile qualifier was Rebekah Greene of Florida. She is the outstanding young woman of about two years ago from New Zealand that I heard VU was looking at. She sort of disappeared and now is a frosh at Florida. Wonder what happened here? It is not like the VU frosh recruits were better. It is not like it was too far from home. $? Climate? Grades? Just interesting because VU is an active recruiter in that region.
