Wright: ‘Next man up’ mentality for Villanova moving forward, Moore in at point
David Butler II-USA TODAY Sports The Villanova Wildcats are grappling with their emotions following the aftermath of Collin Gillespie’s injury, while preparing for a road game with the Providence Friars and the postseason.
“Next day, next game, next man up for us,” Villanova head coach Jay Wright said. “... Providence is always ready for a battle. We have great respect for them, and we’re expecting a very difficult game.”
It might be easier said than done. Less than 24 hours earlier, a MRI confirmed the worst, that the Wildcats will be without Gillespie for the remainder of the season.
