About this listen

 Villanova runs away from Georgetown in the second half and the crews from the Holy Nova Podcast and Bleeding Blue and Gray break down the two distinctly different places these programs currently reside. While it was a close game at the half, the second half saw Villanova pull away for a dominant victory, leaving Georgetown fans searching for answers. Inside the Episode: The Hoya Scoring Drought: We discuss Georgetown’s brutal 11-minute stretch without a field goal and the 17 turnovers that doomed their comeback efforts. Coaching Adjustments: How Kevin Willard’s halftime shifts turned a stagnant first half into a three-point barrage, while Ed Cooley struggled to find a rhythm for his squad. The "Points in the Paint" Problem: A deep dive into the "crushing stat" of the night—how Villanova’s GUARDS outscored Georgetown’s BIGS in the paint by a massive margin. Recruiting & The Transfer Portal: Is Georgetown’s academic prestige making it harder to rebuild through the portal? Plus Nova had a 5-star recruit visit the Main Line. Honoring a Legend: A look back at Villanova’s moving tribute to George Raveling and the incredible story of his "I Have a Dream" speech transcript. Father/Son Moments: Matt shares the experience of bringing his Dad and son to the game (it was his son's first) and how special the night was personally.
