Villanova's Jalen Brunson on best way to defend him: 'Just hope I miss'
SAN ANTONIO — Villanova’s Jalen Brunson, the national collegiate basketball player of the year, looked momentarily stumped Sunday when asked what his game plan would be if he had to defend himself.

“I don’t know. That’s a good question.’’
