This was a great day for us to simulate an actual road trip. We came in the night before , had a little bit of scouting report on Villanova - they have a veteran team , and we knew a lot about their players . We were here for two an half hours playing. Overall, I thought it was a great day for both teams . Villanova Coach Jay Wright is a great friend and he has a big time program. Both teams played so hard and it was a good day for us in our development.
