Daily News | Justin Moore out, massive loss for Villanova
SAN ANTONIO — About the worst possible news is the actual news for Villanova’s Justin Moore. The junior guard suffered an Achilles tendon tear in the last minute of Saturday’s South Region final against Houston, will have surgery this week, will not play in the Final Four.
“This is a tough blow for all of us, not just because of the great player Justin is, but because of what he means to us as teammates and coaches,” coach Jay Wright said in a statement. “As one of our captains, Justin has been an integral part of our success. He helps our team in so many ways. Every game, he guards the opponent’s best scorer and is one of the toughest rebounding guards we have had in our time at Villanova.
The way Villanova probably would have tried is by giving Longino some more minutes. You’ll no doubt see Caleb Daniels replace Moore in the starting lineup, but that’s semantics. Daniels already plays starter minutes, always is there at the end, already piling on his own massive contributions. Look for Chris Arcidiacono and Bryan Antoine to get spot minutes. Wright’s trust in Arcidiacono, especially at the defensive end, was shown Saturday, when Arcidiacono went in to spell Gillespie.
