Royal Sonesta Hotel

Would like to go over there with the boy.

Thinking Ochefu or ARch

Ask him if we have enough talent now.

As he is about to give me communion,he notices my VU Alumni shirt.....he says Great game last night and will say a prayer that the Good Catholics go all the way.....

Way to step up Mr. Bridges!

back when Villanova hired Jay Wright, Voice made the bold prediction that Jay would lead Villanova to multiple Final Fours.
Nostradamus got nothing on you, Voice - well done!

What else is there to do besides read about Villanova? Loved this post from a butler fan:

Jon Rothstein ‏@JonRothstein 28m28 minutes ago
The most impressive thing about Villanova? Its belief. Cats act like they've been there before when they haven't. Amazing confidence.

-----------

This is a really good point by Rothstein. Nova's talent doesn't wow you, but they carry themselves well. They aren't cocky, but they give off this vibe of "no way are you winning this game." VERY tough minded group. Butler really needs more of that kind of mindset on their roster IMO. I am hoping Baldwin and Brunk help in that regard.

Another guy called them machine like. 4 years in the making!

If in fact he fouled Josh,why out of bounds and no shots?

That no one has to sleep in the streets tonight.

We are ready to shoot em up in Saturday.

sitting in hotel room waiting for my boys to get their hungover bodies in gear so we can embark on 11 1/2 hour ride home.

My thoughts:

1. We won with our C game
2. Mikal Bridges won the game
3. I love this team, every player, coach, priest, trainer, etc...
4. I got to meet ACE, novaworm, djrun and USMC and many others. All great people!!
5. Spending this weekend with my two boys was absolutely the greatest experience of my life. I recommend all fathers and sons/daughters do the same!

God bless this team, and God bless Jerrold Wright!

Happy Easter everyone!

that was behind the basket that the kids were running to hang out with in the post game celebration? He had mini dreads and was tall and slender. Too skinny to be Paschall.

Reminded me of Taylor King celebration in 2009.

How can any kid watch this and NOT want to come to Villanova?

Team ball
All Heart/Tough/Family
Great Coach/Staff

Staff has truly built an awesome program and has brought in the right kids.

had 8 points & 5 rebounds.

Put that in the he "can't contribute for us" bowl & smoke it up'

Jenkins done. We're done.

that the Cats would shoot 4-18 from three point land, I would have said we lose by 20. Our defense, foul shooting and hustle is fantastic. For the world to see, this game once and for all, put to rest that VU is ONLY a three point shooting team. Keep it going guys.

Hearing they are hiring Kevin Stallings. He was tie 2 weeks to find a new job and resign or get fired.

yesterday?

The best offensive performance by any NCAA team this season will do that. .0001 behind Virginia for top spot.

thought it was a poorly officiated game. The worst of the second weekend thus far.

We got some calls. They got some calls. The problem is there were too many wrong calls.

I am always one to favor a block over a charge. But when players are out of control and continually charge, you call a charge. KU had two or three clear charges on drives to nowhere.

I also thought a couple of Graham's calls were iffy. Is the last one a play on? I think KU fans thought so. Either way it is a loose ball foul and should have been a one and one.

I'll be interested to see if any advance.

Villanova -1.5

All the posts I see on page1 of Nova Nation are from Feb 2016 at the latest; most from 2015.

I used to despise this guy but he's knocked out two great articles this week. Of particular interest is the part about what this means for the Big East. Also, congrats to Jenkins for regional MOP!

Bring em on.

After Selden's and-one off the top of the backboard, we saw this:
Bridges with a take to the rim and a left-handed finish
Selden's 3 spins down and pops out
Ochefu posts Lucas and finishes with the left
Chef stuffs Ellis
Selden fouls Hart
Arch uses the screen for a 3
Reynolds challenges a drive and gets the board
Hart nails the 3

From 40-45 to 50-45 in 3 minutes
Jenkins leads the cheers from the bench.

That's the sequence we will watch over and over for years to come.
