Happy Friday Nova Nation! We’re finally just one day away from Villanova’s latest appearance in the Final Four. Thousands of Villanova fans have been flocking to New Orleans to cheer on the Wildcats, and some of those fans have familiar faces.
You’ve heard nearly every Villanova player in a press conference spout these words: We play for those who came before us. It’s a testament to the tradition Jay Wright has built of passing “Villanova Basketball” down from one class to the next, and each team learning and building on the foundation of former teams and players.
While the current team plays for those former players, those former players love to root on this team.
