I have nothing but respect for Villanova University and their men's basketball program.
But as of today they are 8-8 (2-3). Are they done for the year ( short of winning the BET)? Èverytime I see them play it looks like they're pushing a boulder up a hill.
I know anything can happen----but it usually doesn't.
Injuries have created a steep climb. No margin for error now.
They're not the same team DTD and right now not in the picture for an NCAA tournament birth. Maybe they get Moore back but I just don't think they have enough.

They have 3 big east losses to Uconn, Xavier, and Marquette, all by single digits... They are fine, they knew since the Oregon Loss that their best path to the tournament is a late season run. Whitmore is good.
I feel like neptune will use the portal an oddly high amount for Nova next year.

You typically need 9 months before a birth. If they haven't already started the process, I don't think a birth during the NCAAT is possible at this point.

They just may not be showing yet.
Nova had it good at PG with Brunson, Arcidiacono and Gillespie. They're missing the guy who organizes everything and makes the big play. They're missing an experienced coach who has seen it all, too.

They have Arcidiacono.

Yes, he's almost the Kostas Antetokounmpo of the Nova Wildcats!

Nads' first true funny in months. I laughed. 😘
Moore is practicing - I'm glad MU had its road game against them already
