Jalen Brunson, Mikal Bridges, and Eric Paschall will be heavily relied on as Nova starts its title defense.
Jay Wright has built his program on defense and attitude, both of which come with experience. Even when younger players like Ryan Arcidiacono were named captain, the upperclassman always held important leadership roles at Villanova. This year will be no different, as seniors Josh Hart, Kris Jenkins, and Darryl Reynolds have all been named team captains. Add in Phill Booth, who had a breakout game in the national championship, and it's easy to get excited about the leadership and experience of the upperclassman.
