🔼 Captain Clutch. Monday night was a bit of a 2018 Flashback for Nova fans.

With his team battling in a tough road environment, Donte DiVincenzo delivered. The former ‘Cat standout knocked down a huge late 3-pointer and finished off the win with a monster dunk to earn a 119-114 victory for the Minnesota Timberwolves over the Denver Nuggets.

In the victory, DiVincenzo finished with 16 points on 6-of-9 shooting, including 4-of-7 from long range. He also added seven rebounds and six assists.

How many career 3-pointers did Donte DiVincenzo knock down during his Villanova career?

Got a guess?

The two players are the 10th and 11th Wildcats to earn a conference accolade this year with multiple selections coming in eight different weeks.

🔼 Fresh Face. Coach Willard and staff hope they’ve found the latest version of DiVincenzo with the signing of Adam Oummidoch, a 6-6 standout guard at Overtime Elite.

The native of Woodbridge, Va. Is listed at No. 54 in ESPN's SCNext 100 for the class of 2026. In 2025-26 Oumiddoch averaged 28.2 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 2.6 assists per game for Overtime Elite.

🔼 Setting The Slate. It may be spring now, but before we know it, it’ll be volleyball season again.

This week, Head Coach Josh Steinbach and the Villanova volleyball program announced its full 2026 fall slate.

🔼 Isn’t It Lavely? Who needs an off week? Not Josh Lavely!
