Well that was a crazy weekend of basketball! I’ll be filling in for Chris this week as the Bomb Cyclone somehow blew him all the way to Vegas. Funny how that works. Enjoy the week off Chris, and please bring some warmer weather back with you!
In case you missed it, everyone lost this week. Villanova was the only Top 5 team that didn’t pick up an “L”. In fact, 7 of the Top 10 lost, 11 of the Top 15 lost, 13 of the Top 20 lost, and 16 of the Top 25 lost. That’s just ridiculous!
The good news is, this will likely put Villanova back atop the AP poll just in time to welcome Xavier back for, as Chris Mack puts it, “Their annual butt-kicking.” **He didn’t say butt!**
In other news, Villanova is good at basketball, the Wildcats will need defense to win it all, and Jay Wright is bringing his radio show to campus tonight. Enjoy!
