Villanova Basketball is testing out a Golden State 'Death Lineup' in Spain

Down two big men? No problem.

Happy Tuesday, 'Nova Nation! We've had several folks on here call for a Villanova all-small-ball lineup, akin to the Golden State Warriors 'Death Lineup' that consisted of Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Andre Iguodala, Harrison Barnes and Draymond Green.

No Darryl Reynolds or Omari Spellman in Spain has meant that Jay Wright is (maybe unintentionally) getting a look at just that. He's started Josh Hart, Kris Jenkins and Eric Paschall along with Jalen Brunson and Phil Booth. You could throw Donte DiVincenzo and Mikal Bridges in contention for that lineup as well.

So, let's hear your favorite potential 'Death Lineup' for 'Nova in the comments.

And now, the "news."
