DePaul is getting absolutely hosed by the refs at home vs Nova.
And of course Charge O’Connell is on the crew
DePaul prevails at home and breaks the 22-game losing streak to Villanova which dates back to 2008.
I think a number of Villanova streaks might end this year. DePaul is one of 2 in the last couple days
So refreshing to see Nova struggle. You don't lose a HOF coach and not see a set back of some type. When and IF Moore returns and is anywhere close to the player he was, Nova will be a tough out come tourney time. It may be too late for an auto bid for them. Also saw last night that Whitmore was projected to be a late first round pick and I think his stock is only going to go up. Dude can ball. I think they lose quite a bit this year and could also be rebuilding next year
In most mock drafts, I have seen whitmore go in the lottery. The guy is built like he is 25, and an athletic freak.Quote:

I don’t want nova to plummet because it’s good for the league for them to be good. I have a feeling they made a mistake with this hire. There’s enough talent to be a tourney team even without Moore, and as of now it doesn’t look like they are going to sniff it. I haven’t heard the guy speak, but from a product on the court standpoint, I’m getting Steele vibes
UConn's ascendance is timely for the league given Nova's demise.
And Villanova is definitely demised.
Losing to DePaul anywhere is a kiss of death.
The more I think about this, why did Villanova, I mean VILLANOVA, arguably a Blue Blood, rush to hire a guy who was a coach at Fordham for only one year?? He’s not even a Nova grad but went to Lehigh? I can only think that Wright must have been the deciding factor, but we saw how that worked out with Mack & Steele.
It just seems like Nova could have been picking from a prime field rather than a guy who never coached a post season game at a lousy basketball school.
Congratulations to Villanova on finding their Travis Steele. After a rough non-conference and injuries, I assumed they would right the ship and make a run in Big East play, just because their name and talent is still Villanova. Even a new coach could steer that ship to a bid. Maybe not.
