Looks like the TV at my house will be stuck on FS2 for the day

A chance to stack some wins.

I will be pulling out a 3rd TV for FS2, as it's also a big college football day. Life is good!

The announcers trying to convince us that it's weird for nova to not have any seniors like we didn't just see them win a national title without any seniors two years ago

Wow. Villanova with seven games at Wells Fargo Center thus year. Seems like more than usually.

Yeah, 1 or 2 more. Not an NCAA tourney site, so no limit on that this year. Also, kansas and uconn coming in were for sure WFC games. Ohio was sold as a package deal to gget kansas tickets too.

I really like Nova's peripheral pieces. They have a ton of talent on the wings with Bey, Swider, Slater, etc. and down low with Earl. You can tell Moore will be a stud too. It's the upperclassmen that are disappointing. Gillespie isn't equipped to run the offense , atleast to the standard at nova in recent years, and Samuels hasn't been able to recapture his end of year form. It'll be interesting to see if they can overcome that as the year goes on.

Some good observations here. In the postgame press conference Jay did say Colin is not close to 100% yet, with that being said, I really like CG and think he can give us some good minutes every night, but he is no Ryan Arch or Brunson. Next year with Caleb Daniels, we will have some more ball handling, but is a strong belief that Jay will be going hard after a class of 2021 PG.

I really like this team, and it will be interesting to see what happens when Bryan Antoine starts to play, but like Jay has already been doing with Crosby-Roundtree, I would not be surprised to see some of the older guys start to lose minutes. In fact, it is expected.

Yea, I'd be shocked if Antoine didn't eat into gillespie's minutes pretty substantially. Like I said, I think Nova is loaded at the peripheral positions (basically 2-5) and if they can find someone who can run their system well, this team could explode. unfortunately, point guard is really important in the system jay wright runs
