Villanova Stunned by Columbia in Season Opener Upset
Villanova's basketball team, under coach Kyle Neptune, suffered a surprising home loss to Columbia, raising concerns about the program's direction. Despite offseason roster changes and high expectations, the Wildcats struggled with turnovers and lacked cohesion, leading to a 90-80 defeat. Neptune, already under pressure after two underwhelming seasons, faces increased scrutiny as Villanova's basketball program risks losing its competitive edge. The team's next games against NJIT and St. Joseph's will be crucial for regaining momentum.
