Another year has come and gone here. At 16, the site is now old enough to drive, which is ironic if you know anything about me or how I get around. Anyway, I looked back at this season with 13,744 words on where I’ve been and where I am. The epilogue: https://t.co/mZBgL9d0jW

Nice touch by the @villanovaband playing Shout It Out Loud here at the first half U4. RIP, Ace.

Villanova has stolen the basketball how many times, Ed Rooney? Perkins and Lindsay have seven of the nine. Now it’s Martelli’s turn to talk, doing so with 3:48 left until the intermission, with his A-10 favorite Rams trailing by a dozen, 31-19. #LetsGoVCU

That’s gonna be an adjustment for a lot of us, Russ.
@DalyDoseOfHoops Kevin Willard, Villanova coach...is still wild to me

Villanova is up 11, but Willard didn’t like what he saw on that last possession and will talk at the 8:05 mark in the first half. Other than that, it’s been smooth sailing for the Wildcats, making nine of 16 shots and leading VCU, 26-15. #NovaNation

One second off an exact timeout (SO CLOSE, everyone who usually reacts to those), and it’s Villanova who holds an 18-10 advantage with 11:59 remaining in the opening stanza. Malachi Palmer, who followed Willard from Maryland, has five points off the bench. #NovaNation #LetsGoVCU

Siena coach Gerry McNamara said Tajae Jones' lower back "wasn't quite ready." With Reid Ducharme, McNamara said, "We're trending more toward the next few weeks of seeing long-term of what his shoulder's going to do." He's hoping both players will be back soon.
Ried Ducharme is back in sweats after warming up earlier. So he and Tajae Jones are both out today.

Completely missed Lazar Djokovic transferring to VCU over the summer. You may remember him from Xavier, or most recently, Charleston. #LetsGoVCU

VCU got on the board with two free throws moments ago, but through the first 4:15, it’s Villanova with the early initiative, a 7-2 margin at this juncture. Bryce Lindsay, the JMU transfer (hi @Shane_DNRSports!), has a left wing three and two early rebounds. #NovaNation #LetsGoVCU

Hoping to find an opening in the schedule! The worst part of the A-10 season is all the conflicts with the Big East. Haven’t been to Hagan since 2013.

Off and running in 2025-26. Villanova was denied on its initial shot attempt, but forced a VCU turnover seconds later. It’s Acaden Lewis who breaks the seal on the season, doing so on a beautiful little floater in the lane. VCU came up empty the next time down too. #NovaNation

Kris Jenkins shot count on the video boards: 2 before tipoff I’ve made my peace with it.

Starters for @KevinWillard and @NovaMBB: Acaden Lewis, Bryce Lindsay, Tyler Perkins, Matt Hodge and Duke Brennan. Zion Stanford and Devin Askew are injured, so Nova is shorthanded in Willard’s debut. Looking forward to seeing Lewis in person as well. #NovaNation

Starters for @pmjr10 and @VCU_Hoops: Ahmad Nowell, Terrence Hill, Brandon Jennings, Barry Evans and Christian Fermin. Nowell, of course, is the #UConn transfer. First game for Martelli in his new home after taking Bryant to the NCAA Tournament last year. #LetsGoVCU

ZEBRA ALERT — Today’s officials for the exhibition between Villanova and VCU: Pat Driscoll, Jeff Clark and Eddie Corliss. Driscoll was at Carnesecca for yesterday’s St. John’s/Towson exhibition. Clark, the Cheltenham native, gets a local game today. Corliss is solid too.

VILLANOVA, Pa. — Season #19 begins in a place I’ll be spending more time this year. What better way to add Philly and Big 5 coverage than by opening the season with some? Game #1 of God knows how many, with @NovaMBB hosting @VCU_Hoops in an exhibition. #NovaNation #LetsGoVCU

For the 2025-26 season, we will wear a special jersey patch to honor the life and legacy of Villanova legend George Raveling ✌️
