TGIF, 'Nova Nation! We've got Rider in our gunsights and those poor kids are likes Bambi wandering through a meadow. They've got no chance. No chance, I tell you!
(And that's how fired I get for RIDER, when you give me two basketball games in two weeks.)
Seriously, great job everybody. Two straight weeks with no weekday Villanova basketball can make any man lose it, and we avoided killing each other on here. You're all the best.
And now, the "news."
Merry Christmas to us all!
The classic @NovaMBB 66-64 victory over Georgetown on April 1, 1985 will air Christmas Day at 6:00 p.m. on @FOXSports1
