Villanova defeats Army to open season

That’s it. That’s the entire recap.

Sorry, I’m being told I have to write more to make this worth everyone’s time.

The Villanova Wildcats opened their season with an impressive 97-54 victory over the Army Black Knights Tuesday evening at Finneran Pavilion, in a game where ‘Nova did pretty much everything right.

But, the biggest story? That’s right. Jeremiah Robinson-Earl. The Preseason Big East Freshman of the Year certainly didn’t disappoint in his first collegiate game, leading the Wildcats in both points (24) and rebounds (13) and becoming the FIRST true freshman under Jay Wright to record a double-double.
