Two years ago it was the experience of a lifetime for all of us. It’s just a different time, and I understand it. So it is what it is.”

Villanova men’s basketball coach Jay Wright at the Big East media day saying his 2018 national championsh­ip team will not be visiting the White House as his previous title team did. Its only official visit to Washington the next few months will be to play Georgetown. And nearly eight months after cutting down the nets, Villanova has not received an invitation to be honored by President Donald Trump. If one were to come at this point, Wright said, “We probably wouldn’t be able to get everybody together. We’ve lost staff members, we’ve lost players (to the NBA).”
