I inherited a very good team at Villanova. This year's roster contained a core of players who can play the kind of basketball
Graham Sims wants them to play. That's one reason why I made the move to Villanova when I did. As I fill the program with my own recruits, I'll try to craft a team with the same DNA as the one I built at Lafayette.
Look at the difficulty of Villanova's schedule. We played 16 games against teams ranked in the top 50. An 11-5 record against teams that good is a significant accomplishment. Georgetown went 15-2 (!!) against the best competition, and Louisville (9-8) was the only other Big East team to play more than .500 ball against Top 50 opponents.
In contrast, Lafayette played only five games against the Top 50, and went 2-3. The Leopards went 13-3 against teams ranked from 101-200, and 12-1 against the bottom-dwellers. We only played four teams from the bottom tier all year long.
