Happy Monday Nova Nation! It took exactly one week into the Big East season for Villanova to grab sole possession of first place in the conference. Man, it’s good to be the king!
Even better, Villanova is the only team in the conference that has yet to lose a game. However, their perch atop to hill is going to be immediately challenged when St. John’s come to town. The Johnnies were a bit of a question mark given their 263rd ranked non-conference schedule. But a rip-off by the refs, a beat down of Marquette, and an OT win on the road against Georgetown have shown that this team is a true contender for the Big East title this season.
