I Bleed Blue and White

One of my favorite things to do is read the quotes from the postgame press conferences following each game.  The script was not available for last night’s postgame press conference at the Palestra, but the following articles provide some reactions from both teams. 

• “Villanova outlasts Saint Joseph’s in Big 5 rivalry” by Mike Kern
• “Against Villanova, Saint Joseph’s hangs around, for 40 minutes” by Dick Jerardi
• “Reynolds, Villanova turn back Saint Joe’s” by Terry Toohey

By the way, there are 16 undefeated teams in Division I basketball currently.  Not surprisingly, 5 of these teams are from the Big East, including Villanova (9-0), Syracuse (8-0)-who is playing Florida right now, Seton Hall (7-0), Georgetown (7-0), and West Virginia (6-0).   

Dick Jerardi, a writer for the Philadelphia Daily News, came out with an article today which talks about Scottie Reynold’s decision to return for his senior season.  There are some excellent quotes from Reynolds regarding the NBA Draft process he went through as well as some thoughts about next season.  It sounds like the speculation started to get to Scottie, as he says,

People can stop asking me every time I order something, do something.  Every time, it’s ‘Yo, what are you doing?’

Additionally, Comcast SportsNet caught up with Jay Wright and Scottie at the Davis Center to get some more input from them.  The above link will take you to the video page for Comcast SportsNet.  Then, click on the SPORTSNITE tab and the video is from 6/9-The Wildcats on Reynolds returning to school.
