It was only a matter of time.
Two-time national champ and standout Villanova point guard Jalen Brunson is set to have to jersey retired during the Wildcats’ home game against DePaul at Finneran Pavilion on Feb. 8.
The team announced the news on Tuesday afternoon.
“Jalen put together one of the most amazing Villanova Basketball careers ever,” said Villanova coach Kyle Neptune in a statement. “His remarkable will and work ethic left an indelible mark on our program. He set a standard of excellence, on and off the court, that still impacts us today. We can’t wait to celebrate Jalen’s legendary Villanova career with the Nova Nation.
