He has been through so much over the last five years, and even though he's been with Villanova for that long I find it hard to believe that he won't be there when the Wildcats take the floor next season.
Regardless of what you think of Villanova, you have admit that Curtis Sumpter was a damn good college basketball player. Hopefully a pro team will think of him just as highly, even if his game isn't all about athleticism and selfishness.

I fell in love with the Big 5 at first sight upon moving to Philadelphia in 2002. At various points in my journalistic career, I've covered all six of the region's Division I teams. During that time, I've eaten many soft pretzels from the Palestra's concession stands, which is how this blog got its name.
In addition to the blog, I host and produce the Inquirer's College HoopsCast. It's a weekly podcast that features all the latest news and analysis from around local and national college basketball. Regular guests include Inquirer writers Mike Jensen, Joe Juliano and Mel Greenberg.
I also occasionally contribute to the Inquirer's women's basketball weblog, Women's Hoops Guru. If you've come here from there, this blog deals mostly with the men's side of things, though I do write about women's basketball and other sports when they fit in.
When not focusing on college hoops, I host and produce the Inquirer's PhilliesCast with Phillies beat writer Todd Zolecki, and can occasionally be found behind the camera shooting videos of the Eagles, other professional sports teams and the tiger cubs at the zoo.
One of the great things about City Series basketball, and college basketball as a whole, is its sense of community. So I want to hear from you. Post a comment or send me an email by clicking on my name above. But don't be profane, and don't post hate speech. I'm sure you'd like to take a shot at that commenter on the opposite side of a rivalry from you, or say something nasty about a team you don't like. But this blog isn't the place for it.

What are your thoughts on how Jay Wright coached the game? I dont think this was his finest hour.
Down the stretch, they over-relied on the 3ball, when they could have tried to get an easy bucket off a Reynolds drive and dish.
Too much Nardi taking bad shots.
Thought Jay would have dialed up some higher percentage offensive sets at that juncture of the game.
Bill Packer -- like him or not -- nailed it when he said "they still dont have a third scorer"
