Happy Tuesday, ‘Nova Nation! As the college basketball world ramps up its preseason coverage, Rob Dauster of NBC treated us to a little nugget on Villanova.
He wonders - somewhat correctly - whether Villanova can keep it up. It’s fair point. They lost big contributors and have legitimate injury/depth concerns. But that’s not what bothers him. Dauster thinks Villanova’s title creds are tied to their recenty history.
That’s just fundamentally wrong. Just because a team was good (or bad) the previous year doesn’t have as direct a correlation on the next year’s performance - especially in college.
