I am very excited to welcome you to Villanova Basketball's new home on the web, thenovanation.com. Whether you are looking for the latest news and information about this year's Wildcat team or you just want to learn more about the history and tradition of the Villanova Basketball program, this website is your best resource.

• If you'd like to get to know our staff better, check out the "Coaches and Staff" section under the Wildcats tab. Here you'll find detailed bios and photos of our talented coaches and trainers.
• Under the "Traditions" tab, you can find more information about our program, including our post-season tournament history and the 1985 National Championship team. You can also catch up with some of your favorite Wildcats from the past by checking out the "Life after Basketball" section.
• By clicking on "In the Pros," you'll be able to learn more about the history of Wildcats in the NBA and follow some of our former 'Cats who are currently in the league.
• If you haven't seen it in person, be sure to check out the virtual tour of The Davis Center, our new state-of-the-art practice facility.

We named this website "The 'Nova Nation" because we want it to be a place for everyone who makes this program great: the players, the coaches, and especially the fans. It's such an invigorating experience to look up in the stands, whether we're at home or on the road, and see an ocean of blue and white, or to meet alumni and past players as we travel throughout the country. It's something all of our players understand. They are a part of something much bigger than any one person or player, and that Wildcat bond will last a lifetime.

Be sure to check back regularly for updated news as well as more messages from me in the "Time Out with Coach Wright" blog.

Go 'Cats!

Enthusiastically,
Jay Wright
