That may have been the last game we ever see Justin Moore and Eric Dixon play together.
Huge thank you to them. Guys always fought for the team on and off the court.
They will go down as Villanova legends.

ESPN Announcers: Dixon really struggles versus that Kalkbrenner guy
Dixon: averaging 27.6 ppg vs Kalkbrenner over their last 3 matchups
What a win for Kyle Neptune. Villanova goes into Omaha and beats Creighton in overtime 68-66. Eric Dixon puts up 32 points on 12/21 from the floor to charge the Cats in their conference opener victory.
Dixon in last 3 games vs Creighton - 83 points!

High praise from one of the, if not THE, best coach in the NBA.
There is no coincidence that there’s something about these guys.
Villanova makes CHAMPIONS.
Spo on Jalen Brunson (41 points in Game 6): “How’s that dude not an All-Star or All-NBA?…He should be on one of those teams. I wish he were still out West. Man you gotta respect him as a competitor…He’s got an iron will. There’s something about these Villanova guys, they’re as…

What a great 10 day span for Villanova. Building a solid class and showing they can still recruit high quality talent.

That’s the type of attitude we need right now. I’m STOKED to see him rep Nova!

This is hilarious. They’re literally just friends who happen to be nasty at basketball on the same team
Jalen Brunson (trying to answer question, turns to Josh Hart): "Don't do this again bro"
Hart (eating): "I'm just eating"
Brunson: "Just stop"
Hart: "He's asking you a question. What you mad at me for?"

This has to be one of the worst fan experiences in my four years at Nova.
Tailgate shut down after one hour.
The students getting into it and security tells them to sit down.

i’m a multi year attendee of Villanova; now at four years. my family has donated $50 on mug night at Kelly’s each of the last 1842 days the last 4 years—as there's a drive into deep left field by Castellanos and that'll be a home run. And so that'll make it a 4-0 ballgame.

Cats jump to 25th in KenPom, their highest since January 15th.
This team is turning the corner at the perfect time.
They are a STAUNCH defensive team that will give about every team in the country trouble on that end.
If they win the next two? Comfortably in the tournament.

Going to link a post we had that I feel is extremely relevant after yesterday.
This team is *NOT* a good 3 pt shooting team. They take the 9th(!!!!!) most 3’s in the country, yet they’re 223rd in 3PT %.
It’s been 19 games. Something has to change gameplan wise. You can’t play…
Asked Kyle Neptune about Villanova shooting 4-25 from 3 today, even with some very open shots.
"Yeah, we got some shots. But either way, you think about the turnovers, you think about offensive rebounds, you take care of that, I think we definitely have a different outcome."

Regardless of how fans all feel about Coach Neptune, one thing is for certain:
He will be the Coach of the Villanova Wildcats in 2024-2025.
He has one year left on contract. Let’s throw our support behind him and hope this is the right call.
“I think we have the right guy in place to get us where we need to go,” Villanova AD Mark Jackson said.
Villanova remains committed to Kyle Neptune.

Man this is beautiful 🥹, Eric’s dad is legitimately the best! We’re so lucky to have a guy like him and his son on the team!
Watching him grow into the man he is has been truly joyful. I remember Ash told us that choosing the Nova path would probably be the most difficult but also possibly the most rewarding. Our journey isn't over, but I'm grateful to be on this road. V's up 💙.
