Brunson helps No. 1 Villanova avoid upset against La Salle
PHILADELPHIA — Jay Wright led Villanova on a tour around the concourse of the Palestra, the basketball shrine that has served as the hardwood home for many of the game’s greats.
Wilt Chamberlain played high school ball here. Kobe and LeBron, too.
There’s even a spot dedicated to the greatest Villanova team of all — at least, at the time the display was installed — the 1985 national champions. The Palestra curators might want to clear space for ‘Nova’s 2016 title team — and maybe even prep a new wing for this year’s Wildcats.
