Latest news and updates about the Villanova
Villanova’s backcourt has been inconsistent over the course of the season — and this includes Devin Askew off the bench. The sixth-year transfer has struggled to find his shot in recent weeks, but when the team needed it the most, Askew stepped up. Leading 59-57 in the second half, Askew knocked down a three before […]
On Sunday afternoon at The Finn, Marquette women’s basketball gave up a 12-0 run to Villanova over about seven minutes of game time. That left the score at 14-2, and at the end of the period, it was 16-5 favoring the Wildcats. One of two things was then going to happen: Friends, it was Option […]
With three regular season games left to go, Marquette women’s basketball can finish anywhere between third in the Big East and tied for seventh. With the top five teams in the standings skipping the opening day tripleheader at the conference tournament, there’s an obvious advantage to being on that side of the line instead of […]
UConn men’s basketball (24-3, 14-2) will look to shake its recent struggles in a crucial game this weekend, as the Huskies travel to Philadelphia to take on Villanova (21-5, 12-3) at Xfinity Mobile Arena in a battle between two of the three best teams in the Big East. The Wildcats rank No. 27 in KenPom, […]
Villanova has a history of impact big men in the lineup — especially during title runs over the last decade. This year, Duke Brennan has taken on that role after transferring in from Grand Canyon, a team that Kevin Willard and the Terps knocked out of the NCAA Tournament last year. After taking the Villanova […]
Four-star guard and former Villanova target Adam Oumiddoch is back on the market. Oumiddoch announced on Tuesday that he will reopen his recruitment after decommitting from St. John’s. “I’m thankful to Coach Pitino, Coach Masiello, and everyone at St. John’s for the opportunity and belief they showed in me,” Oumiddoch wrote on social media. New […]
When you get an American Pope from Chicago that is a known lover of sports… you get really cool things. On Tuesday, Matt Norlander with CBS Sports reported that Notra Dame and Villanova will have both of their Men’s and Women’s basketball teams open the 2026-2027 season with a game in Rome. The two universities […]
Villanova found itself in a nine-point hole on its home floor to Marquette and once again, needed someone to play hero in the end. The Wildcats made just one field goal in a stretch that lasted close to nine minutes and this allowed Marquette to open a 66-57 lead. Over the final six minutes of […]
How much grace do you want to extend to Marquette men’s basketball on a night when they had a chance to shoot for overtime on the road against a team that is the unofficial #30 team in the country in the AP poll? This has been a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad season for […]
Kevin Willard is now the head coach of Villanova and there are some Maryland fans who are still unhappy about it. It was a bit of a controversial split for Willard and Maryland last year. On Saturday, there was a contingent of Terps’ fans who sat around the Villanova bench as the Wildcats defeated Georgetown […]
Villanova is on a mission to return to the NCAA Tournament for the first time in three years. The Wildcats have yet to crack the Top 25 this season, but currently sit at 18-5 and 9-3 in the Big East. According to ESPN’s Joe Lunardi, Villanova is seen as a “likely” tournament team, sitting on […]
Malachi Palmer played sparingly early during his first season at Villanova. Palmer transferred in from Maryland after Kevin Willard made the move to become head coach of the Wildcats. After a lull in the middle of the season, Palmer has been getting a bigger opportunity and has been making the most of it. Guard play […]

College basketball was quite different in 1988. The Age of Duke was just a few years old and no one understood that it was an historical epoch. Duke hadn’t even won a national championship at that point. And the old Big East was a monster. Georgetown and Villanova had won national championships. St. John’s was […]
The UConn men’s basketball team had just enough to beat Villanova, prevailing in overtime, 75-67, behind 24 points from Solo Ball and a heroic second-half effort from Alex Karaban. Karaban finished with 17 points and eight rebounds, but did not score his first basket of the game until the halfway mark of the second frame. […]
The No. 2 UConn men’s basketball team looks to keep things rolling in Big East play this weekend, as the Huskies return home to Hartford after a week off for a clash with Villanova (15-4, 6-2) on Saturday afternoon looking to extend their winning streak to 15 straight games and stay unbeaten in conference play. […]
Going into the December 29th loss to St. John’s, Marquette was sitting at #56 in the NET. The loss knocked them to #66. Beating Villanova got Marquette back to #54. Losing to Seton Hall didn’t really affect anything in that regard, but losing to Georgetown in what BartTorvik.com’s Game Scores says is the worst performance […]
If there was any lingering doubt that the Red Storm were a serious Big East contender, that was laid to rest on Saturday night. St. John’s bested Villanova on the road by a score of 86-79 to claim their fourth straight victory and sole possession of second place in the conference. After a back-and-forth first […]

Shouts to Andrei over at Paint Touches, as he very helpfully answered the call I put out at the top of the recap of Marquette’s 76-73 loss to Villanova. My biggest flaw as a basketball observer/recapper/blogger is that I stink at recognizing what is happening live. As such, when I saw Chase Ross badly miss […]
Let’s get it out of the way off the top: I think getting the ball to Chase Ross while he was 3-for-11 on the day and 2-for-6 from behind the arc against Villanova here in order to hit a three-pointer and tie the game and force overtime was a bad idea. I think going to […]
Okay, so look. Marquette isn’t going to shoot 61% on three-pointers every single game for the rest of the year. BUT Sunday against Villanova was the second time this season that Marquette has connected on over 60% of their three-point attempts, and the second time in Big East competition, too. The Golden Eagles have hit […]

After nearly a month of staying at 10 in the AP Poll, BYU moved up a spot to 9 after the road win at Kansas State Saturday. BYU is one of seven Big 12 teams ranked along with Arizona (1), Iowa State (3), Houston (7), Texas Tech (14), Kansas (22), and UCF (25). Villanova, who […]
Six days ago, Marquette women’s basketball lost their last game of 2025 maybe perhaps exclusively because they missed 14 layups in a seven point loss to St. John’s. They came up with an interesting preventative measure to that idea on Sunday afternoon at the McGuire Center against a Villanova team that came in at 5-0 […]
