The Full 40 - A Villanova Basketball Podcast

Welp, Villanova's season ended 10 days ago with a loss to eventual National Champion Baylor. We recap the loss and other major storylines from the College Basketball season that was and look ahead towards what's to come in the coming months with decisions for our seniors plus JRE, and also take a quick look at our recruiting class and what next season may have in store. Not a full end of season recap podcast, we have (at least) two more episodes left in Season 4, so stay tuned!!!

The Bracket opened up and Villanova took full advantage. The Cats are BACK in the SWEET 16 for the first time since 2018 and for the seventh time Jay's 20 years as head coach. We walk through the tremendous accomplishments and preview what lies ahead - the #1 seed Baylor Bears. After an in depth preview and discussion on how to win, we dive into a great and wide-ranging mail bag session. TUNE IN!!!
