Happy Thursday Nova Nation! I’m not going to lie Nation, it’s scrape the bottom of the barrel time here in the links department. Seriously, all I could find was Josh Hart and court cases. So instead, we’re going from “news” to ““““news”””” and searching around Twitter.
Surprisingly enough, the social media path was a lot more fruitful considering we’re in the basketball drought that is August. For example, this is video of actual Villanova players playing actual basketball. Enjoy.

Ah, like a refreshing glass of lemonade. Is it November yet? No? Ugh. Moving on.
Despite pleas for me to stop hyping Eric Paschall, I will do no such thing. Neither will he. Sure it’s an old video, but all the noise coming out of Nike camp is making the wait for college basketball even more unbearable!
If you squinted hard enough at the @nikebasketball Academy, it wasn't hard to envision Eric Paschall playing a similar role to Draymond Green, as he brings the same tough approach to his game

And even the alums are balling out... kind of. Josh Hart threw out the first pitch of last night’s Dodgers game, a perfect strike of course.

Speaking of Josh, let’s actually get to those links. In other “news”, Josh Hart is great, Josh Hart was great, and basketball in the courtroom is no good. Enjoy!
