Randy Foye: (12:17 PM ET): It's a great feeling. Garrett (Roanoke, VA): What does it feel like to beat the #1 team in the country? We play for what is on front of the jersey, not on the back. That is who we have built the foundation here. Randy Foye: (12:16 PM ET): That's just playing hard and smart. But we also have to be strong shooters on the perimeter which we do.ĭan (Edison, NJ): Randy, Every time I have seen a Nova player interviewed this year, he always refers to playing "Villanova Basketball." What exactly does this mean? If you have an inside out game you can go far. I think getting the ball inside is really important for us to keep winning out and go far in the Tournament. Sean (Boston, MA): Do you think getting the ball inside is becoming a more usable and potent option in the offense instead of relying on 3s? If you look around in the crowd you will see more women with my jersey on! Randy Foye: (12:14 PM ET): I'd say I have more. But we knew we just had to play tougher than them and that's what we did.ĭewey (San Francisco): Who has the more lady fans.
Most of the scouts told me I would have gone in the 20-30 range.Ĭhris, boston ma: Randy, How do you feel about Coach Calhoun's comments after the game that the refs were favoring Nova? I knew I was coming back but I did flirt with it to see what people thought of me. Randy Foye: (12:13 PM ET): It wasn't a difficult decision.
I am wondering though how difficult a decision it was for you and what scouts were telling you about where you would have gone in last year's nba draft? I think everyone can agree you made the right decision in coming back. Pat (Roxborough, PA): Randy, last year you flirted with the idea of leaving early and turning pro. I think my shooting percentage went up in the Wachovia Center but I know everything about the Pavilion and the rims. Randy Foye: (12:12 PM ET): I feel more comfortable at the Pavilion because we practice here everyday and I know the rims. Randy Foye: (12:11 PM ET): I'm here and ready to go!īretzky (Hoboken, NJ): Where do you prefer to play the home games: Pavilion or Wachovia Center? How great would it be to play rounds 1 and 2 in Philly for the NCAA's? The Wildcats will face Georgetown (17-6, 8-4 Big East) on Sunday afternoon from the Pavilion. A transcript of Foye's chat session appears below.įoye leads the team in scoring this season and his contributions have helped fourth-ranked Villanova to a 20-2 overall start, including a 10-1 mark in Big East Conference play.

He's playing at a high level since the trade, but the eighth pick of the 2006 draft isn't the type of player who's going to carry a team on his back for an extended period of time like LeBron James or Kevin Durant.VILLANOVA, Pa. Gay is going to need help down the stretch though. It's clear there are reasons for optimism in Toronto.įor a franchise that hasn't reached the postseason since 2007-08, that's a big step in the right direction. It's really shown for both DeMar DeRozan and Alan Anderson, who are both playing well since Gay arrived.
Having a star with that type of ability takes a lot of pressure off the other players, allowing them to focus on their roles. That said, not only has Gay provided the team with a reason to hold out hope for the playoffs, but he's finally given the team a go-to player, somebody who can take the ball during a key possession, create his own shot and convert. Having nearly a week off in between games puts that momentum at risk. The Raptors are probably disappointed that All-Star Weekend has arrived when it has because they were finally starting to find a groove. Only Carmelo Anthony (5) has made more such FG ESPN Stats & Info Gay has now made 4 go-ahead FG in last 10 seconds of 4th quarter/OT the last 3 seasons.
