The Knicks have an off night at home on Sunday, March 25, when Kentucky may be appearing in the Elite Eight at Madison Square Garden.
A few Knicks have a different reason this week for going wild for the Cats during this year’s March Madness.
After three years of playing off the bench, Jacob Toppin is averaging 12.5 points and 6.9 rebounds as a starter for Kentucky this season.“I feel like Cal [Kentucky coach John Calipari] is preparing those guys — and with a little extra time to prepare because of the loss [to Vanderbilt in the SEC tournament]. It’s time for them to step up and win this year. And for sure, they could play in the Garden, right? So they gotta be at the Sweet 16. But one game at a time and just play with confidence.
“I probably talk to Jacob more than Obi does,” Quickley said. “I talk to Jacob every now and then, early in the season when he was going through a little rough patch, I FaceTimed him, talked to him a little bit. “It was tough back then, but we’re in the future now,” Toppin added. “Now I’ve got to watch my brother win it with Big Blue.”A season that saw Villanova miss the NCAA Tournament for only the second time in 18 seasons ended quickly with a loss to Liberty in the NIT.following a deadline deal with Portland. .
Hart said a rough first year under new head coach Kyle Neptune was “disappointing,” but he noted that even Wright’s first three Villanova teams posted a combined 52-46 record and didn’t reach the NCAAs until the fourth year after he was hired away from Hofstra in 2001.Getty Images
