Happy Game Day Nova Nation! If you’ve been paying attention even a little bit to Villanova this post season, one player has stood out as consistently playing at a level above what we’ve seen the rest of the season. That player is Jermaine Samuels.
In five games this post-season, Samuels is averaging 13 points, 9 rebounds, 1 assist, and 1 steal per game. He’s been named KenPom’s player of the game twice during this stretch (UConn and Ohio State), the most of any Villanova player. To put it bluntly, he’s been a crucial piece to Villanova’s success.
