A Shabazz Napier 29-footer with 0.6 seconds left in overtime handed Villanova its second over-time loss to a Big-East rival in less than a week, and gave Connecticut a 73-70 victory over the Wildcats.

Villanova fell apart down the stretch in the regular season, so I guess it was fitting that they went down yesterday in the same fashion. This team just couldn’t get it done when it counted. The Wildcats have been shakier than the Miami Heat when it comes to making a shot down the stretch. [...]

The NCAA Selection show will be on Sunday and unfortunately Philadelphia won’t be represented nearly as well as it has been in the past. Only Villanova and Temple will be making an appearance.

The outstanding shooting of the Villanova Wildcats guards, Corey Fisher and Maalik Wayns, was too much for Bob Huggins and his number 25 West Virginia Mountaineers, as the number 12 team in the country won comfortably 66 to 50.. The visitors from West Virginia stayed in the game for the most of the first half, but [...]

Villanova’s talented scoring guard Scottie Reynolds became the first AP All-American to not be drafted since the NBA-ABA merger in 1976.¬† I find it rather astonishing although I wasn’t optimistic about Reynolds’ NBA career. There were a total of 60 players drafted on Thursday night by NBA clubs but Reynolds who averaged over 18 points [...]

Villanova has a great opportunity to go to the Final Four again this year.  it seems the NCAA selection committee wants Nova or Duke to make it. The South bracket is wide open for an overrated Duke team which barely got through a terrible ACC this season.  The Purdue squad isn’t a legitimate four seed because [...]
