full session:

1) how are the wildcats taking this unprecedented schedule change? the fans?

"Villanova is pretty practiced at dealing with rapid schedule changes at this point so it is taking them in stride."

2) was the Johnnies' game a low point in Nova handling ball pressure?

"Yes, that was by far the worst Villanova has handled ball pressure all season and really in recent memory."

3) who is your 'real mvp at this point for Nova?

"I'd love to give you a creative answer here but after the St John's game I think it's impossible not to say Collin Gillespie. It's not a coincidence that Villanova's worst game and Gillespie's worst game happened on the same night. Prior to Wednesday night I would have tried to make a case for Jeremiah Robinson-Earl."

4) whats the talk, if any, in and out the program of Georgetown's recent success?

"Georgetown's recent play dominated the discussion at Jay Wright's Saturday pressure conference. Wright has certainly noticed and has communicated that to his players. Outside of the program, I think fans were so busy dealing with Nova's poor play on Wednesday that Georgetown's upset of Creighton maybe went under the radar a bit."

5) who is the teams' most improved player?

"There really hasn't been a monumental jump from anyone on Villanova this season. I'd probably say Cole Swider. He's hit some big shots, has contributed on the glass, and although it's not always pretty he has taken steps forward defensively."
