It’s a sentimental time of year in college basketball, as players across the nation play with the knowledge that each game could be their last in their respective uniforms. Count a pair of Villanova stalwarts — Caleb Daniels and Brandon Slater — among those ranks this season.
The grad students, who currently are using their extra year of eligibility, took different paths to the Wildcats, but they’ve been a steadying force on a team that’s experienced more than a few ups and downs as it tries to crack the 68-team NCAA Tournament field. Those Big Dance hopes may be dim, but Slater offered some wisdom as Villanova prepares for the Big East tournament, which for them begins today against No. 11 seed Georgetown.
“It’s coming down to the wire and obviously for a second it comes in your mind and you want to reflect on it but you can’t,” Slater said. “It’s not fair to the rest of the players. It’s not fair to Cam [Whitmore], Mark [Armstrong], Brendan [Hausen], who have been here for one year, to think about that just yet. It definitely comes in my mind, but when that happens, I just got to remind myself: ‘Hey, look. I’m still here. I’m still playing. I still have opportunities. I still got time.
