Thank you Bryce Lindsay for absolutely cooking today.

Villanova's (@NovaMBB) Bryce Lindsay on the 2026 season:

"It was a great year. Hell of a coaching staff, hell of teammates. This is the year that I'm going to remember throughout my two years that I have left in college. I feel like we meshed together. We came together quick."

Thank you to Duke Brennan, who battled his tail off and almost beat the program’s double-double record.

Thank you to Devin Askew, who won a handful of games on his own this year and won Big East Sixth Man of the Year.

Thank you to Wade Chiddick for your silent contributions over the years.

Thank you to all of the players who contributed to the success of the team this year.

And as always, go Cats!
