      Big East Battle: Villanova vs. UConn Preview & Predictions | Energy Exchange
      Feb 20 2026
      The Big East is heating up as Villanova (21-5) prepares to host UConn (24-3) in a massive Saturday night showdown at XFinity Mobile Areana in Philly. In this episode of Energy Exchange, Matt Janus (Holy Nova Podcast) and Mark Zanetto (The Hoops Cap) break down why this has become a "must-win" for the Huskies and how Kevin Willard has transformed the Wildcats into a conference contender. 🏀 Key Matchup Analysis: Huskies vs. Wildcats The guys dive deep into the tactical battle between Dan Hurley and Kevin Willard. UConn is coming off a "head-scratching" loss to Creighton where their defense looked like "Swiss cheese," while Villanova is riding high on defensive consistency and elite guard play. 📊 Scouting the Stars Villanova: Keep an eye on Tyler Perkins, who is drawing comparisons to Josh Hart for his "clutch intangibles" and back-to-the-basket scoring. Can Acaden Lewis prove he can do it against elite competition? UConn: The Huskies need Silas Demery Jr. to step up as the lead dog and primary scorer to snap them out of their recent offensive funk and is Tarris Reed Jr better suited in a supporting role? 👕 Support the Network Special thanks to Home Field Apparel!

    • Villanova-Georgetown Preview: Key Matchups, Stats & Predictions for Saturday's Big East Rematch

      Villanova-Georgetown Preview: Key Matchups, Stats & Predictions for Saturday's Big East Rematch
      Feb 6 2026
      In this edition of Energy Exchange on the Big East Energy Network, hosts Matt Janus (Holy Nova podcast) and Rasheen Carbin (Bleeding Blue and Gray podcast) preview the upcoming Saturday rematch between Villanova and Georgetown in Washing DC. Coming off a four-game winning streak, the Hoyas look to redeem themselves after a "humiliating" loss in Philadelphia earlier this month. The analysts break down the strategic shifts, player development, and the coaching philosophies of Kevin Willard and Ed Cooley that will define this rivalry matchup. Plus give their picks. Georgetown’s Redemption Arc The "New" Hoyas: After a disastrous 1–7 start to Big East play, Georgetown has won four straight. Carbon attributes this to the return of Julius Nwosu to pre-surgery form and the emergence of freshman guard Kayvon Mulready. The Malik Mack Factor: Point guard Malik Mack struggled significantly in the first meeting, going 1-for-14 from the field. Since then, he has focused on "table setting" and trusting his teammates more. Defensive Identity: The team has begun to resemble Cooley’s tough Providence squads, utilizing big guards and rim protection. Villanova’s Tactical Edge The Duke Brennan X-Factor: Janus identifies Duke Brennan as the biggest surprise for Villanova, calling him a "double-double machine" who controls the game through relentless movement and offensive rebounding. Second-Half Adjustments: Kevin Willard’s strategy involves intensive halftime film review focused exclusively on defense to eliminate exploits found in the first half. Committee Approach: Villanova lacks a singular "elite" shot-maker but succeeds by playing the "hot hand," rotating focus between Tyler Perkins, Acaden Lewis, Devin Askew, and Bryce Lindsay. Key Matchups and Predictions are unveiled at the end, as well as the hosts identifying their favorite all-time players from the other program.
