The Villanova Wildcats official alumni team SuperNova was officially selected for this year’s edition of The Basketball Tournament as an at-large team after failing to receive enough votes to be an automatic qualifier. The 60-team field was released this afternoon, and four more teams will be added after the pay-for-play Jamboree finishes.
Alumni Mike Nardi and Curtis Sumpter will serve as the team’s coaches. Fellow Villanova alumni Allan Ray (Team Fancy) and Maalik Wayns (Team FOE) are in the event as well. Former Wildcat Markus Kennedy will also play on Team FOE with Wayns.
