Happy New Year Nova Nation! Hope you all had a fun and safe celebration last night as we roll into the year 2020. For Villanova, it’s been an amazing decade, arguably their best one yet. Two National Championships, Five Big East Championships, Four Big East Tournament Titles, and Six Big 5 Championships. Not too shabby. Side note to anyone who wants to tell me it’s not a new decade, it’s semantics based on when you start counting a decade. Let’s just say the last 10 years have been pretty swell and move on!
Naturally things are moving a little slow today with everyone being up late last night. Not too much news, but there’s one thing I wanted to leave you with before we go. It was a pretty great New Year’s Eve for yours truly, but it got even better when Villanova posted this video:
