Brian was on the scene at BIG EAST Media Day and was able to nab these quotes from Villanova Men's Basketball Coach, Jay Wright...

"We could be 9-deep, easily" - Wright #NovaBB

"I don't think [realignment] will affect the league as much as it will affect the fans and the Alums" - Jay Wright

JW on playing Temple in the BE: "It might actually take away from the rivalry a bit, because you get comfortable with each other." #Big5

A lot of talk this morning about Mouph Yarou's jump shot. Jay Wright thinks he may be better offensively facing the basket.

Wright said that the strength of his team will be in the front court. He also noted that front court was a strength on the 2009 Final 4 team

— Brian Ewart (@Brian_Ewart) October 17, 2012

For Wright to succeed, he needs versatile front court players. He described the ability to guard out on the perimeter as important.

Wright thinks that Sutton, Bell, Pinkston can all get out and defend on the perimeter.

Scary thought? Wright on JVP: He was rusty last year. "You'll see, he's a much better basketball player."

— Brian Ewart (@Brian_Ewart) October 17, 2012

Wright was the only coach who said that he really loves the idea of playing a 20 game Big East schedule. The rest were more measured.

— Brian Ewart (@Brian_Ewart) October 17, 2012

Wright thinks that Villanova already plays a tough non-conference schedule, so he doesn't think 20 Big East games would change things.

Jay Wright hates taking transfers, but he needed maturity and experience at PG.

— Brian Ewart (@Brian_Ewart) October 17, 2012

Chennault offers that experience and maturity, but needs to adjust to playing the tougher Villanova style.

— Brian Ewart (@Brian_Ewart) October 17, 2012

As for Dylan Ennis? YOLO. Wright just said it was a great fit for the program. Probably his most athletic guard.

— Brian Ewart (@Brian_Ewart) October 17, 2012

Wright says Villanova "yellowed out" West Virginia on Pavilion banners.

— Brian Ewart (@Brian_Ewart) October 17, 2012

I asked JW about playing Temple at the WFC and he said it would be worth looking into, but he isn't sure if schools can get it done.

— Brian Ewart (@Brian_Ewart) October 17, 2012

According to Mike Brey, he still wants to play #NovaBB and he thinks that the coaches will decide the schedules. JW said he would play ND.

Wright said that the Cuse game that always sticks out in his mind is the 2006 game. G-Mac's senior day. Me too; my only trip to the Dome.

Coach Wright's additional thoughts on the Pre-Season Teams. More to come after the event...
