Antonio Pena in Nova’s Two Losses
Sophomore Antonio Peña is averaging around 24 minutes of play this year. But if we look at the Texas and Marquette games, Villanova’s two losses, we can see that Peña has logged 9 and 7 minutes respectively.

Against the Longhorns, ‘Tone played 9 minutes with 0-2 shooting, 2 turnovers and a foul.
In the Big East opener, he played 7 minutes and was held scoreless, but was still able to grab 4 rebounds and get an assist. However he did rack up 3 fouls- the first two occurred in a close game when ‘Nova was up 10-8 and 13-10. His third foul came quickly in the first 10 seconds of the second half. Read more

From Villanova by the Numbers, a very analytical look at the performance of Stokes, Fisher, Pena, and Grant. Man, do we love VBTN.
