Villanova Has a Night! Wildcat Men Reach Big 5 Title Game, Women DESTROY Top 25 Opponent!
What. A. Night. Villanova fans — this one had EVERYTHING. The men’s team battles through an uneven first half, responds with grit, and punches their ticket to the Big Five Championship, while the women’s team goes on the road and dominates a Top-25 opponent in one of the most complete performances of the Denise Dillon era.
On today’s episode of Holy Nova, part of the Big East Energy Network, Matt Janus and David White break down both statement wins — what worked, what didn’t, and what it means for Villanova heading into a crucial stretch of December basketball.
🏀 MEN’S TEAM: Villanova vs Temple
• A chaotic first half… but an 18-point win tells the real story
• Kevin Willard finally praises the defense — was it legit or matchup-only?
• Acaden Lewis = Point Guard Clinic → 8 assists, zero turnovers, and game-changing poise
• Tyler Perkins catches fire from deep, Villanova responds when Temple punches back
• Where does the defense still need fixing? On-ball containment, rotations, and fouling
• The Jay Wright effect… is he the real cheat code?
🏀 WOMEN’S TEAM: Villanova SILENCES West Virginia
• An 81–59 road beatdown of a ranked team — never trailing for a single second
• Jasmine Bascoe’s masterclass: 20 first-half points + elite playmaking
• Brynn McCurry’s rise continues — deadly mid-range + toughness
• How Villanova answered physicality, protected the ball, and dictated pace
• A defining win for NCAA Tournament hopes
• Big Five Final vs St. Joe’s coming — The Holy War
📈 BIG EAST NET RANKINGS DROP
We react to the wild first release of NET rankings — why the metrics hate the Big East right now, why it’s way too early to panic, and what Villanova must do in upcoming non-conference tests.
