Lastly, something that I would like the communities take on is what is up with only 1 wildcat on the top 100 recruit list. 3 Providence kids making the list is unacceptable. In 2014 NOVA had the 6th ranked freshman class and when those guys were seniors was the last time NOVA made the ncaa tournament. Not a direct correlation, but definitely helps. Just some food for thought.

"Luke Keating, A, Villanova: The Former F&M Diplomat continued his strong play with the Wildcats, tallying five points off four goals and one assist in their 16-9 win over Fairfield.

J.P. Basile, A, Villanova: A former Duke Blue Devil, Basile also had five points against the Stags, scoring three goals and dishing out two assists." (Lacrossebucket.com March 1, 2020)

I have a feeling they are going to make a nice run through the conference schedule starting at St. John's this coming weekend. The offense is really clicking with goals coming from 4-6 players each game. Tough to game plan against these guys when you have Campbell, Keating, Baskin, Daly, Basile and Goodelle ripping it from outside. And with Will Vitton winning faceoffs at a +60% rate they should be able to dominate possessions in the Big East. Defense is shaping up as well.

Not to look too far ahead, but I have a feeling that the Wildcats will be 9-3 when they host Georgetown on April 29th on the Main Line. They let Georgetown off the hook a couple times last year (8-7 and 14-12), both times in DC, but will be looking for retribution in the Big East finale. That will be a must-attend event in Philly. Should be fun.

The second game was in Providence in BE semis not at gU but i agree Nova is the real deal. Pollsters love win loss records. Look at Nova’s losses all to IVY and all close. Everyone loves the IVY but polls don’t give Nova credit for that. Either way I think they are vastly underrated in polls. As a Hoya backer I don’t think Georgetown underestimates them at all and will be one if not two great games between these teams this year. Also unless something changed the BET is at Georgetown this year.

I do think even if they lose to Georgetown regular season and BE final close and beat everyone else they deserve a bid
