Player of Game: SF Israel Moody (VLNV)
Our patented 2043 winning formula proves potent once again: sublime offensive orchestration by
Kai Smith and elite scoring by
Israel Moody, with opportunistic defense and just enough rebounding to spice things up.
Israel has made 223 baskets in 25 games this season. At this pace, he's going to challenge
Mason Reynolds' mark of 311, set in 2035/36. Any time you challenge a meaningful record held by a man whose jersey hangs from the Wawa Arena rafters, you've done something.
Record: 22-3 (10-2).

Player of Game: C Dan O'Halloran (VLNV)
Tonight's hero is
Scott McMasters, who sinks a nifty floater with eight seconds on the clock to silence a big, boisterous Pitt crowd.
Scott is in the game because
Asaad Richardson rolls his ankle over with five minutes left to play.
Scotty Mac takes one shot, and it's a big one.
Hats off to
Dan O'Halloran, who posts another assertive double-double. And
Kai Smith's first assist of the game is the 900th of his Villanova career. He has a chance to finish his career with 1000 points and 1000 assists, the only player in Villanova history to achieve this feat.
Justice Stafford finished his career with over 2000 points and assists combined, but he fell short of the 1000-assist mark.
Record: 23-3 (11-2).

Dan O'Halloran and
Kai Smith deliver star performances again, both recording double-doubles, as we move within a game of clinching the Big East regular season championship.
Weston Wagner and
Tyson Lien give us very good production off the bench again this evening.
Kai didn't get any steals tonight, which is rare. Every one of his thefts moves him closer to the NCAA record of 339, held by
Gerald Rivera, who finished his career at Duke in 2033. Kai has 314 career steals, which means he'll have to contribute a bunch of thefts to a team that makes deep tournament runs next March.
History says both those things might happen.
Record: 24-3 (12-2).
