Happy Thursday Nova Nation! With another decisive victory over DePaul, Villanova improved to 8-2 on the year when shooting over 35% from deep. The Wildcats shot 44% from behind the arc at home the other night, and following an uncharacteristic shooting slump they’ve now shot above 35% in four of their last six games. It’s safe to say the slump is over.
One of the narratives during that slump was that this team may be a worse shooting team than years past. Interestingly enough though, the numbers are indicating the opposite. The Wildcats are averaging 36.
