If this was a year ago I’d make the joke that Villanova is actually a Philly school because they choke like all our teams do. Now that we’re about to start the Eagles dynasty run, that no longer can be the truth. They’ll have to continue to not be a Philly school out in Montco and Delco. Regardless, holy hell Kyle Neptune is a generational choker and that’s not me saying that. It’s the data:

If that guy’s math is right losing those results had a 0.000000000299% chance of happening. The chances you pick a perfect Sweet 16 this year are 0.000000007194%. It’s actually easier to pick 48 games in a row than what Kyle Neptune has done in his career. That’s insane.

If you’ve watched Nova this year you know they should’ve been hovering around the top-25 all season long. They have the nation’s leading scorer, Eric Dixon, then Wooga Poplar, who can fill it up, and rounded out a good starting group with Jhamir Brickus and Jordan Longino. They built enough depth to contribute. They’ve got one problem and it’s the coach who is about to miss his third straight tournament. If you’re not still playing by St. Patrick’s Day on the Main Line you’re not going to stick around long. Not when you spend $3 million on your team. Even though you can’t spell Villanova Wildcats without NIT, fans are pissed:

There have been “Fire Neptune” protests, boos at Midnight Madness, and during intros:

And that was last year…


The ironic part is Neptune is probably going to win the most games he has ever won at Nova and he’s still gonna get the pink slip.
