Notes and quotes from Jay Wright's Friday press availability. Today's recap of the presser is a little light, but we'll have more from Wright in our game preview and will also be putting out another article with quotes from Wright and a couple of the players on another theme that emerged at today's press availability.
On a balanced offensive attack for Villanova...
“It’s something that we always try to do. It doesn’t work all the time. We want to develop our players to make them all complete players and we want them to trust each other and trust everybody’s that’s on the floor. In games that we’ve played well, we have had that balance. Sometimes that balance is one guy having a big game the other guy not and then it changes the next game. That balance is important to us.”
A Trey Patterson update...
“We’re really impressed with him. His maturity, his basketball IQ, his physicality for a high school player. We’re very impressed and we’re very optimistic about him being a really good player in this program.”
On the quality of this year's Big East and conference's NCAA tournament chances...
“I think if all of these teams in the Big East were practicing since June, I think this would be one of our best years. Some teams have really been impacted. I still think we got five or six teams in the hunt here and I think we could be in the end worthy of five or six.”
