Ok ladies and gents - we didn't think we'd be doing another pod this week, but given the instagram post heard round the Villanova world, we figured it made sense to give you our two cents on JQ, IG, and how we move forward from this whole situation. New pod coming over the weekend, as we'll go live from Kansas!
Big 5? Guess that means more wins for the cats and the emergence of Jermaine Samuels! After a nice 2-0 week, it's time we prep for #1 Kansas and the trip we're taking to the real midwest.

Oh, the things we do for Villanova Basketball. On this episode, Chris and Rob cannot stay on topic for very long and swing from tangent to tangent, sometimes going on tangents of tangents, all with the purported goal of recapping the La Salle game and previewing Temple and St Joe's matchups. - Chris' prowess at a bachelor party - When Villanova Basketball takes priority over normal life - La Salle Game - Temple and St Joe's preview - The Big 5: is it any good - Shouts to Nova Raptor and a Big East swingaround This is a fun one which promises some laughs and chuckles a long the way.

It's the overdue Thanksgiving episode! We spend the first half of the podcast giving thanks despite the rough start and after a word from Nova Insider we get back to it and discuss playing time for the freshmen, especially Jahvon Quinerly, and whip around the team to discuss what exactly is going on. As a heads up, the episode was recorded on Wednesday, November 21st - prior to the Orlando Advocare Invitational Turkey Tournament - but many of the points hold regardless. We'll be back after the Turkey Tourneys and before Big 5 play kicks in vs La Salle on December 1st.
