Happy Thursday Nova Nation! Anyone who watched Tuesday night’s game knows that a big reason why Villanova won was rebounding. It kept the Wildcats in the game through their early shooting woes and helped them pull away late. While Jermaine Samuels led the team with 9 rebounds, six different wildcats recorded at least six rebounds on the night. That “Team Rebounding” mentality has been a big reason why Villanova has outrebounded their opponents in six of their nine games and are +49 against opponents on the boards this season.
And while the rebounding is a team effort, one player has stood out above the rest.
