The Full 40 - A Villanova Basketball Podcast

A different thanksgiving for nova this year, with just one game over the holiday weekend, but a win is a win! Luckily, we're back to two games this week, including an annual favorite against our poor little brother St. Joes. Does this even count as a rivalry at this point? In this episode we'll cover: - Our interesting approach to scheduling this year - Lasalle takeaways - Early season check-in on...

Thanksgiving is coming, but our Turkey Tourney has come and gone. A 2nd place finish in Myrtle Beach provides us with some thoughts on how the team has begun to come together, and an outlook for the future.

Welp, not exactly the way we hoped the last week would go, but it was about what we expected. On to the next one! A young team is going to have some ups and downs - luckily, the team gets a bunch of reps this week at the Myrtle Beach Invitational. In this episode we cover: * Reactions to last week’s loss * Bryan Antoine expectations * The Myrtle Beach Invitational * The Hart Monitor aka the Eric P...

Game 1 in the books! A great start to the season, with a comfortable win at Army, but the first real test starts this week against Ohio State. In this episode you’ll get: * Takeaways from Army (yes, it’s a nice win, but it’s Army c’mon now) * The Hart Monitor (or should we call it the Eric Paschall monitor?!?) * Mailbag! * Ohio State preview As always, hit us up on twitter and IG @thefull40

We're BACK... FINALLY! Sorry for the long delay - life called... but now that we are back we are here to discuss the upcoming season and why YOU need to check yourself... and your expectations... immediately before we start. Enjoy the podcast and welcome to the newest season of Villanova Basketball!

Welcome to Season 3 of The Full 40!!! We are proud to present our interview with John Shackleton #ShackFit - The Villanova Men's Basketball Performance Coach! The Full 40 with Chris and Rob, brought to you by Nova Insider

Hello all - welcome to the season 2 finale of The Full 40. We're past the NBA season and draft, which concludes our season of the full 40 - and we are UPBEAT because we added an NBA Champion to our ranks and UCONN IS COMING BACK TO THE BIG EAST!!! Check it out for a full discussion on Kyle's championship, draft results and the big Big East news.

Ok guys and gals, Long awaited and now delivered, it's the second annual "Forties", our annual awards show to recap the season.

We're going...

Well ladies and gents, looks like this season didn’t end quite the way we hoped, but it’s one we can certainly take some positive things from. But the real question of what this season means in the long run has yet to be written. And that is the theme of this episode: unwritten. In this episode we’ll cover the following: Quick tournament recap Where does this season stack up in recent Nova history...

Big East Champs and the 6 seed in the South!!! We cover a lot of ground on this fast-moving, breakneck paced podcast! In the first half - we break down the Big East Tournament Championship.

GO CATS!!!

Ok Ladies and Gents, It's mid-march, which means another Villanova Big East regular season title, and preparation for another big east tournament!

The calendar flips to March. We are all of a sudden winning again. And now we're in 1st again. Collin remembered how to shoot. Jermaine remembered that he's allowed to play offense. Phil Booth remembered his legs. Jeez. Before the break, we cover the week that was and the week to come. After the break, we do a #HartMonitor segment and then discuss the Big East and the conference's NCAA prospects.

Well, that's not exactly how we thought this week would go. Luckily, we have a great interview with Nova grad Walter Smith-Randolph (A&S 2009) to help bring us out of the depression that is three straight losses! In this episode, we'll cover: - Reactions to Rob's Cincy visit - Game talk - How you should think about this season as a fan - Special guest: Walter Smith-Randolph As always, hit us up on...

We're back after a ROUGH loss at MSG to St. John's. We do show a fair amount of perspective. But we almost called this "The Angry Podcast". We're mad. Understandably so. In a very real and raw podcast, we walk through the game and everything that went wrong, including the rotations, that led to the loss and why there are legitimate complaints this season, even with the perspective of being 20-6, e...

Ladies and gents, We're back again, and this episode means that The Full 40 is officially one year old.
