Overall thoughts:

This season for Bryce Lindsay was an interesting one. Coming into the year, the transfer from James Madison was expected to be in the same sixth-man role that he was in for the Dukes, where he also won the Sun Belt Conference Sixth Man of the Year. But due to Devin Askew’s offseason injury, Lindsay started the opener against BYU. And that was all she wrote, as the sophomore scored 22 points against the ranked Cougars in Las Vegas and never relinquished the role (except on Senior Night).

Lindsay’s out-of-conference performance continued to impress, as he entered Big-East play averaging 16.7 points per game. Those averages dipped all the way down to 9.4 points per contest during conference play, including the Big East Quarterfinal. If you take out the first three games, that average reduces even further to 8.1 points per game. This is all to say: Lindsay was in a two-month swoon.

Of course, he finished the season on a great note, with yet another prolific performance against a Utah-based opponent. Against Utah State, Lindsay scored 25 points and shot 9/18 from the floor. It’s scary to think where Villanova would have been in that game had he not reverted back to his out-of-conference self.

So where does this lead as far as projections go? Is he more of the player we saw the first two months, or is he more like the last two? The answer is probably somewhere in between. And if that’s the case, it may be better for Lindsay to accept that sixth-man role once more going forward. Is that something he would be willing to do? That’s tough to say. We will find out in the coming days/weeks.

Overall, Lindsay’s first…
