Happy Thursday Nova Nation! The Villanova Wildcats were able to hold on in a physical battle for the regular season sweep of Xavier last night, 64-60. There are lots of breakdowns of the game in the links below and coming on the site today, so instead I figured I’d focus on one player’s performance in particular: Collin Gillespie.
Saying he’s been overlooked this year would just be ridiculous. He’s arguably the team’s best player, the leader on the court, and was given All-American and Big East POY honors in the preseason. But I think some fans may be overlooking two things about the local Nova star: His journey to get here, and where he’s going to end up.
