Daily News | Villanova’s season is done as Wildcats lose to Liberty in NIT
After Villanova’s loss to Creighton in the Big East Tournament quarterfinals, the locker room was subdued. Dreams of March Madness were dashed, yet it likely wasn’t the end — there’d be a trip home, another practice, another chance to “play with my brothers,” as so many Villanova players have said over the years.
McGhee caused chaos for Villanova’s defense. The 5-9 graduate student scored 26 points against the Wildcats, shooting 9-20 from the field. McGhee made five threes, including several from far beyond the arc. Freshman guard Mark Armstrong stepped up in Moore’s absence, playing 34 minutes. He scored 12 points and matched a career-high with four steals.Sophomore Jordan Longino and freshman Brendan Hausen also got significant playing time, playing 30 and 15 minutes, respectively.
Daniels and Slater have exhausted their eligibility and will begin their post-Villanova plans. Whitmore is expected to declare for the NBA draft in the coming days, where he will likely be a lottery pick. The Wildcats have just one recruit in the Class of 2023, as forward Jordann Dumont will head to campus after graduating high school.
