The Full 40 with Chris and Rob is proud to present Part 1 of a 2-part podcast recorded in Lawrence, KS during our trip to Allen Fieldhouse to watch our Villanova Wildcats take on the Kansas Jayhawks on Saturday, December 15, 2018! On this episode, we hit the following topics: - Takeaways from the game itself '0 - Where the season stands now & an upcoming must-win '17:20 - Epilogue to the JQ Saga '26:40 - LaGuardia False Start '31:30 - Kansas and Lawrence early impressions '35:25 - Allen Fieldhouse: Really, Truly Special '37:05 - The KU Student Section & Atmosphere '42:40 - Good 'Nova Representation & Seeing Friends of the Pod! '47:20 - Rob's Ryan Arcidiacono's City Jersey Debate '49:20

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. In this episode we'll cover: - Impressions from Temple and St Joes (welcome to the team Jermaine and Joe!) - Reactions to the Villanovan's recent take on the Pavilion - Prepping for Kansas / What to do in Lawrence, KS - Big week for the Big East (cya later Kentucky, and bring on more MSG) As always, hit us up on IG / twitter - @thefull40

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. Thanks for listening, and as always, Let's Go 'Nova! The Full 40 with Chris and Rob brought to you by Nova Insider.

Looks like a holiday tournament is just what this team needed! Chris and I are reunited in person, reducing our editing time and increasing our output quality, just like the Cats. In this episode, we'll cover: - Reactions from the weekend - The continued case of the mystery point guard - Looking ahead to La Salle - The Hart Monitor (all hail, the great Arch) - Big East look ahead (spoiler, still not great, but maybe not a dumpster fire) As always, check us out on twitter / IG, etc: @thefull40

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.

Welp, there it is. Yep, first loss of the year. Luckily it was just the secret scrimmage (or so we're telling ourselves) Drown your sorrow, look ahead, and find out why we're still going to kansas for the upcoming game. Spoiler - it's because we already bought tickets. And check out our special guest! In this episode: - Dealing with an unexpected loss - JQ and CG - who needs more burn? - Special guest! - Some of our favorite Nova chants through the years - Breaking down the game - Your next favorite drink brand you haven't heard of yet Don't worry - plenty of more wins to come and plenty of season left to enjoy.

Ladies and gents, the season is back, and Villanova is yet again undefeated! Since we're a whole 6 days into the season, we're going to spend some time overreacting to what we've seen so far.
