Good Morning(ish) Nova Nation! My schedule has been such that these brunch-time news updates have turned into a bit of a theme week! Now who’s complaining about Chris’s links, hmmm?
In more important news, Villanova owns Xavier in Philly. We can cross out venue as the reason, it’s the city and surrounding areas. Villanova hasn’t lost to Xavier in a home game since 1956. Since X joined the Big East, Nova is 9-1 against them with an average margin of victory over 16 points. That’s the gap between Villanova and the best competition the Big East has to offer right now.
In other “news”, Villanova is good at basketball, Jalen Brunson is good at basketball, and get this, Jalen Brunson makes Villanova good at basketball. Enjoy!
