Please don't lump me in with the many weak fans that Villanova unfortunately claims.  23-

I hope VocalALUM will now come back out and watch the Cats again, as I mentioned last week, there is lots of lacrosse to be played for VU and they want and need our student body and alumni support.  Get out and watch the Georgetown, St. John's and Notre Dame games in person, as well as the first Big East Tournament at VU.  VU men's lacrosse has made the NCAA Tournament 2 of the last 3 years and the future is very bright.  As you mentioned earlier in the season Brian, they have the third toughest schedule in the nation and they are grinding games out one by one.  Keeping with the VUhoops theme, the TV announcers did say Jim Boeheim was at the lacrosse game today and attends most of their home games when he can.  THANK YOU for your coverage of the men's lacrosse team Brian, it will make a difference in helping VU become more of a lacrosse school.  You gotta have a vision of VU fans of all sports cheering on the Cats in the Linc in next years Final Four in Philly.  Go Cats!

A motion offense works best if you have players who can hit open shots and players who can play above the rim.  We have one player who plays above the rim but he is in his last year and only recently started games. Please enlighten as to what you expect to be a positive improvement. Is JW going to employ a new motion offense and a 2-3 zone defense?
