Summer Jam at Villanova. No Luigi Suigo. Kevin Willard says the Italian big man should be on campus later this week. But there’s Matt Hodge shooting a jumper. Willard less effusive about his likelihood for the opener than he was with me last month.
Finally getting to @sethwickersham.bsky.social's excellent Sean Payton story, and this probably is my favorite paragraph so far: (story link: www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/...)
Jonathan Greenard on Philadelphia and its fans after attending the Sixers game last night. He has never played at the Linc, but it sounds like he's looking forward to it:

Villanova takes the floor for its first-round NCAA Tournament game vs. Utah State. Winner gets top-seeded Arizona on Sunday.
Kevin Willard with a not-so-veiled shot at players who left the program? Here's an answer about Chris Jeffrey, who Willard respects "the shit out of" for not leaving and trying to redshirt:
Tyler Perkins, Acaden Lewis, Duke Brennan take the stage in San Diego
Utah State coach Jerrod Calhoun played for Rollie Massimino at Cleveland State and learned a lot about running a program:
Lunardi’s update from last night shows Villanova dropping to a projected No. 9 seed. Wildcats were on the 7 line before losing by 14 to Georgetown.
Villanova takes the floor for its quarterfinal matchup with Georgetown.
