#1- Villanova Jay Wright didn’t forget how to coach in 2011-12. The issue was that he didn’t have his "type of guys," players who have an edge to them and play unselfish basketball. Now he's got a team whose sum is greater than its parts. Are there any surefire NBA players? No, but he’s got enough talent, chemistry and guys who understand and accept their roles. James Bell and Darrun Hilliard are two ideal examples. Both have waited their turn and are thriving.
John Hart has been one of the most underpublicized, yet productive freshmen -- and Ryan Arcidiacono doesn't have to do too much. The Wildcats are 13-1 with the lone loss coming at the Carrier Dome against Syracuse, and Wright's group has become the favorite to win the Big East.
Pretty fair commentary I think. thought last week was huge for Nova bouncing back after the loss.
