Title: [Cracked Sidewalks] Villanova Preview
Post by: brewcity77 on October 15, 2023, 08:48:27 AM

We continue counting down the Big East with #6 Villanova. The Wildcats thrive on continuity, but overhauled their roster with transfers as Kyle Neptune seeks the first winning record in his coaching career.

"Chemistry" something the stats can't measure. I think they'll finish 4 or 5 in the league.

That's actually a big part of why I am not as high on them, relative to other predictions. The advanced models like them a lot more than I do, but this team hasn't played together. Pretty much two guys on the team have had a chance to build chemistry -- Moore and Dixon. The rest are coming in from outside, not just the starters but the first off the bench. And I'm holding off on buying Kyle Neptune stock until he shows he can develop that chemistry within a team. Just putting pieces together doesn't guarantee a winner.
