Villanova In-Game Thread
By JohnnyHey everyone, Johnny out in Philadelphia, getting ready for the classic Big East matchup between the Georgetown Hoyas and Villanova Wildcats. We’re still about 45 minutes away from tipoff, but I can see that the seats behind both baskets here in the Wells Fargo Center are covered with white Villanova Rally towels for Nova Nation.
I don’t have ref information for you yet, but the scoreboard says that it will be the same starting lineup that the Hoyas put against St. John’s – Nate Lubick instead of Hollis Thompson. It worked well against the Red Storm, so we’ll have to see how the lineup change works out here in PA.
Like I said, the Hoyas are set to start Clark, Wright, Freeman, Lubick, and Vaughn.
The Wildcats look to start Pena, Wayns, Fisher, Yarou, and Stokes.
Check back for more info as the game goes on, and feel free to keep your comments coming in the thread.

The Hoya faithful have arrived and a “Let’s Go Hoyas” chant has started in the upper decks.
