Men’s Basketball earn 3 seed in USCAA National Tournament

3/3/25: Villa Maria Men's Basketball received a bid to the USCAA National Tournament securing the 3 seed. They will play 6th seed Mid-Atlantic Christian University Tuesday March 11th, 7pm at Villa.  

Statement from Head Coach Desmond Randall on the achievement: "We feel really good about getting the 3 seed. Naturally the desire is to be a 1 or 2 seed but being in the top 3 is a tremendous accomplishment. The reality of seeding though, is none of it matters once it's time to play. Getting in the tourney is the goal. Once you are in, you're in and you have to be ready to play because everyone is good. Our energy for us has been high all season. Because of that, we have been able to achieve some great things so far. Some of our goals this season was to win 20 games and be ranked in the top 5. We believed that would put us in a good position to achieve our ultimate goal of winning a national championship. We were able to check both of those boxes, now we must finish the job and check the last box." 

Players to watch:  

Senior guard Juston Johnson, senior forwards Nolan Shephard and Santi Manero
