Here’s an early look at freshman Isaiah Armwood, who won the Dunk Contest last night. Here he flies high over Jay Wright. Thanks to Ali for recording this, as well as the Thriller video.

First video we have from Hoops Mania is the team and the dance team dancing to Michael Jackson’s Thriller. Thanks to Jamie for getting this up amidst the Homecoming festivities.

Hoops Mania recap

Head over to VUHoops for a phenomenal recap of Hoops Mania last night by derp. Sounds like a great night and a well-planned event by everyone involved.

Jamie has promised some exclusive video, so hopefully we’ll have that up soon.

Can’t attend Hoops Mania?

No problem (or so we think). Villanova is advertising that you can watch Hoops Mania tonight (which is only open to students and season ticket holders) on ‘Nova Nation All-Access, which you can sign up for here.

I believe that a subscription costs $9.99 per month, but they will also be showing a lot of basketball games that aren’t picked up by TV during the early portion of the season.

Then again, this has been one of the more unreliable tools that the Villanova Athletic Dept. has employed. It hasn’t worked a lot in the past. So sign up at your own risk.

Hoops Mania date is set, Alumni date change

Hoops Mania, the unofficial start to each Villanova Basketball season now has a date. It will be October 23rd, and doors will open at approximately 6:30 p.m.

As always, the Blue-White scrimmage will be a big part of the evening. It’s the first time that the masses get a preview of the players on the team, and more specifically, the freshman.

No word yet on any special guests for the musical portion of the evening, but it will remain hard to top the surprise appearance of 50 Cent from a couple years ago.
