On a wall near a stairwell, there’s a picture of Joe and Patti Arcidiacono’s fourth child, Ryan, celebrating Villanova’s 2016 national championship with coach Jay Wright, writes EJ Smith for philly.com.

It’s a home that, for the last 35 years, has molded three Division I basketball players, a national champion, and a team captain.

The last two generations of Joe and Patti’s extended family have more than a dozen college athletes. Now, Ryan plays for the NBA’s Chicago Bulls. His younger brother, Chris, is starting at Villanova and will be the third in his family to play Division I college basketball, following Ryan and their older sister Nicole, who walked on and became a team captain at Penn State.

Joe played football at Villanova; his brother, Mark, played for Temple. From there it becomes harder to keep track.

Patti sometimes teases Joe that his parents were outdoorsy folks who didn’t care about sports, but now their family name is one of the most recognizable in Philadelphia sports.

“They’re like Villanova royalty,” said Wright, whose wife was a college classmate of Patti and Joe. “They’re a part of the Villanova fabric.”
