Quite a few things about the Lafayette basketball program have changed since the Leopards eliminated us from the NCAA tournament last spring. Coach Douglas Richburg moved on to the bright lights of Southern California, taking the top job at UCLA. He swaps a more prestigious program for a more prestigious conference.

The new head Leopard, Leland Tingle, served a 16-season apprenticeship as an assistant before taking the top job at Cal State-Fullerton in 2027. Coach Tingle, age 60, went 68-35 with the Titans.

He prepares his new team well for their date at the Pavilion, but after falling behind early in the second half, we pull away and win by 10. Asher Wise (20p/8r/5a/2s) and Lowell Welter (19p/6r) provide a one-two scoring punch, backed up by Tony Ezell (14p/5r) and Justice Stafford (13p/7a).
Record: 8-0.

A visit from an old Patriot League foe turns out well for the home team.

Asher Wise pours in 31 points, good for a new career high. He adds 6 assists and 4 rebounds, cementing his status as our most important player. Tony Ezell scores 21 points and grabs 8 boards, and Blake Norton contributes 7 points and 7 assists in 17 minutes.
Record: 9-0.

Davidson coach Dario Ferreira spent four years as Graham Sims' X-and-O man, and in his return to Finneran Pavilion, Coach D's Wildcats don't fare well against the Villanova variety.

Asher Wise (18 points), Reed Weisberg (16), Justice Stafford (12), and Tony Ezell (12) all hit double figures. Lowell Welter does so in rebounds (11, with 8 points). Stafford and Blake Norton combine for 10 assists. Norton makes 3 steals.
Record: 10-0.

Reed Weisberg turns in the highest-scoring game of his young Villanova career tonight, dropping 29 on Princeton at Jadwin Gymnasium.

Reed sinks 6 of his 7 threes and adds 2 steals. Asher Wise (15p/5r) and Tony Ezell (15 points) join him in double figures, and Tony also has 9 rebounds and a career-best 7 assists. Justice Stafford dishes out 5 assists, too.
Record: 11-0.

Our visits to New Jersey programs continue with a trip to Jersey City, where we hold off a late charge by a determined ostentation of Peacocks.

Once again, it's Reed Weisberg leading the way, scoring 18 points and making 4 threes. Tony Ezell is right behind him with 17. Asher Wise (14p/6r/4a) and Lowell Welter (9p/10r) play well in supporting roles.
Record: 12-0.

We haven't gotten much production out of the center position this season, so I make a lineup change before our visit to Delaware. Tony Ezell moves into the starting lineup, and Lowell Welter shifts to center. Kris DeMello will come off the bench.

The new combination seems to work well. Ezell runs into foul trouble, but he scores 12 points in 17 minutes. Welter turns in a passable imitation of Avery Sullivan (14p/12r/3b). DeMello reaches career highs with 15 points, 11 rebounds, and 4 blocks. Meanwhile, Asher Wise asserts his authority with 25 points and 6 rebounds.

Reed Weisberg (6) and Justice Stafford (7) provide quality assist-ance.
Record: 13-0.
