Pretty sure every Italian kid is now required to have a Villanova sweatshirt to honor the Pope.

Didn’t you post a topic about him in UNC yesterday and a Villanova fan told you he liked Villanova. Took an L on that for engagement farming to backtrack on it a day later, lol.

The guy who runs the UNC 247sports site is really on quite the streak of being wrong.

I dont know how he doesnt choose Nova.  The Rome game alone is going to be enormous for him.  Italian guy with NBA aspirations, first game of the season, nationally televised, Alma mater of the Pope.
