Wildcats are hairy and wet. Kitty livers on the menu.
Sam and Rowsey score 20, Marcus good for 30.
Sam's 10 boards make him SOTG!
GO WARRIORS!!!!!!

Here we goooo
Lose with dignity. Don't get hurt.
Rowsey fouls 8 seconds in
And a guy who can't shoot drills a 3
Just our luck.
Paschall picks today to learn to shoot
Len Elmore doesn't know where the three point line is.

It's a lot easier to shoot against MU's pathetic defense.
Nova might hit 100.

He said it correct the first time. Then, he confused himself.

Then he just said it again. That's not the women's line and the men's line.
How do these clowns not know the difference among the women's line, the men's line, and the NBA line? This is ridiculous.
Further, if this is Nova's floor, why the heck do they have a pro 3 point line on it?

I guess the bright side is I'll be keeping my $3,000ish
Why does Sacar shoot 3s ?
Dude airballs it right into Bridges hands wow
Definitely shoulda bet the over
Markus is kind of starting out like he did at PC. Maybe we're in for another big show in the second half. I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

The 76ers play on that floor. Many wood panels are just removed, to turn it into a Villanova floor.
Can't be this sloppy and fall down this much this early at Nova and survive...Loose with the ball, missing easy shots, giving them anything they want. You get away with that against DuhPaul, not Nova.
In an effort to bring about a 1980s style miracle
I'm gonna give an additional $100 to anyone commenting in this thread should we win
Actually getting good shots for the most part and missing. Defense is awful though
Hanging around

I thought that might be the case, but after seeing the time lapse of the crew putting the floor out, I assumed Nova had their own floor. Seems kinda dumb to replace more than half the floor and not just have two separate floors.

The Pavilion is closed this year. Most years Villanova only plays 3 to 4 games at the Well Fargo Center.
Matt Heldt moves like a much larger man.
Howards defense has gotten alot better seems to be starting to take pride n play with a chip on his shoulder on defense.
Rowsey on the other hand, his defense is literally horrible
My kingdom for a free throw.

He really cannot stop anyone.
MU is clearly outmatched. Villanova is damn good. They are who we thought they are.
To beat Nova you have to hope they are not hitting from outside, so you can pack it in a bit. They are on fire from outside. It is going to be a long night.
Heldt is only going to get marginally better. Hope he doesn't mind 5min/gm next year.
Nova just a lot better than us.
I've turned it back and forth from football many times
I think every time I turn it on Sam is making a dumb pass
Not like him
Sacar's offense tonight is looking much better. I like that he's attacking when given space. In a game like this, we'll need everyone to step up, so contributions from him on the offensive end are great.

He seems surprisingly flustered tonight. I wonder what's up with him? This is the kind of game I expect to see him thrive in
Yes, Rowsey is not a very good defender and Brunson backing him in, but wow this is worse than Providence game, how many layups/dunks can a team give up. Plus they have hit threes, makes it difficult.
With all that and some really bad turnovers, only down 10.
Sammy with his third TO, last two on DT traps. He needs to play smarter than that
lol painful watching heldt out there. gets the offensive board and has to pass it out because he has zero skills inside. total waste of a scholarship.
outmanned at three positions or so, what you gonna do
Rowsey's defense vs. Len Elmore's commentary.
Even if we are getting crushed
I love seeing Markus still canning shots
Need him to stay hot for a while

Ohh, that's a tough one. But after Len Elmore said Sam's clear 2 point shot was just within the NBA line, I think Rowsey is sitting better than Elmore.
Held 'Nova to 62% shooting, so....yeah.
Nova shooting 62% with a lot of layups/dunks.
MU only 6 turnovers, seems like 20.....
Hmmmm, no Cain again.
Eric Paschall 2-27 on the year on 3pters...3-3 tonight. That right there more than anything else is the difference in the game.
There is something to be said for playing defense.
7/16 from 3 and still getting smashed
Probably because we are 6/15 inside the arc
If we can figure out a way to cut down on the number of uncontested shots in the paint in the second half, we'll definitely cover and may have a shot at being competitive. Kind of a big if at this point, but we seemed to figure it out at PC

I'd say it is more the parade of uncontested layups and dunks
When your guards can't stop penetration...

The double whammy of a bad shooter shooting well and their big guys getting easy buckets down low does not bode well for an upset bid. We can control one of these things, though.

Cosby Roundtree averages two ppg. He is 5 for 5 on dunks/layups in first half for 10 points.
Nova is spreading the floor and beating people off the dribble. Help comes and they can make the next pass. This team is just bad defensively. The players that can defend also struggle scoring wise.
Why the hell is Sacar not on Brunson?? He's the key to their offense...I realize there'd be a mismatch with Howard then, but there is anyway
Hauser is from North Carolina ... when did he move?
Hauser out of North Carolina?
Did Elliot just get called for a foul for being elbowed in the face?
Well Xavier was looking ahead to Nova. But Nova definitely wasn't looking ahead to Xavier. They were wanting to get even from last year.

I did not understand that one
Two quick ones on Heldt hurts. He's getting beat all over, but I still think I'd rather have him out on the floor than the other 2 bigs. Let's hope Theo and Harry can stay out of foul trouble. The last thing we need is to be giving away free points tonight.
Markus is special. Such a joy to watch.
Nova in bonus with 14 min left... ?-(

Elmore still can't decide if it's the NBA line or the women's line. It's quite funny that he's trying to claim the players are the ones confused by the two lines.
Rowsey's offensive game no where to be found, which just makes his bad defense look all the worse.

Let the fouling begin. Six minutes in and Nova in bonus. Not a ref issue. Every game......
Getting out of hand now, it's Howard one on five and Nova doesn't miss free throws.
Maybe Cain and Froling get more time on court.
Nova 15-20 on twos.
Uufffff
Rowsey 2 for 12.
Quote from: tower912 on January 06, 2018, 08:19:37 PM

Agreed. We are fouling because we can't keep up with them.
"Compete...compete...compete"
Games being called well. They just have a bunch of easy buckets from turnovers, a bunch more from bad defense. Changing to more obscure looks only makes it worse when they're bad in everything.
Rocky Mountain, NC?
Nova falling in love with the 3
Go frosh!
Length and athleticism makes things look better. Really like this group on the floor.

I suppose he could have been a little more wrong if he said he was from Tijuana
Needed that run to stay in this thing. Seeing these guys keep their head's up and fight down 15-16 on the road is encouraging.
Balls up to Wojo for changing it up and going with the Detrioters...
Lineup of three sophomores, two freshmen playing well.
Pretty good play with Rowsey on bench. Elliott a more superior defender. Cain long and energy off charts, just build up abit. Good experience.

And hopefully another 20 or so pounds added on to each of them.
Wow has Rowsey been bad this game.
Andrew's worst game in some time. We made that run with him on the bench and gave it all back in < 3 minutes upon his return.
It doesnt appear we will lose by 30.....if we can get it to 10 at the end that would be good....but a loss is a loss.
I still hope a miracle finish happens. I want to see us compete to the end at least.
MU sometimes makes the same lazy passes my daughter's CYM team makes. I shouldn't be able to make a comparison between my daughters CYM team and a men's college team beyond they both wear tennis shoes
Rowsey back in and just stops playing defense twice and then a turnover. Probably his worse game I have seen him play. Shame. Wojo just sat him.
But big play was MU down 8 and Froling missed two shots, leading to baskets
Good try, but without Howard, it would have been bad.
Yes. Small ball!
No one wanted to shoot that one
Stepping up and continuing to move forward but still get the offensive foul. Wrong call
Markus looks dead.
Down 7 with the ball with 1:30 to play is not a bad place to be against Nova on the road. These lineups without Rowsey have really changed the game late in the second half.
How does a player clear his mind EVERY time he shoots a free throw to not allow doubt creep in? I can't do that ten times in a row in my driveway and Markus does it all season long
I wonder if playing for the 400th win played a role in the vegas spread.

Whatever it was, this was easy money.
If Markus can't get within 12 pts of last game he should sit next gsme
decent finish....dont feel too bad about it. No moral victories...loss is a loss. But, they battled.
Much closer game than the final spread of 10 suggests. Heck of a game. IMO we were a normal Rowsey away from a win. Even a normal Paschall would have maybe been enough.

What is a normal Rowsey??
I dont even know anymore. No clue what to expect from him, less consistant than our freshman let alone a 5th yr senior

When did Sam move to North Carolina?
The announcer must have been given bad information about Sam because I can't figure out why he said it more than once.
Did Brian Custer say that? He is normally pretty good. I enjoyed in his first year full-time doing football.
Len Elmore was fine. He was just lost on the three point lines. :o
Unlike ESPN. At least they don't use the term power 5 for basketball stats at Fox.
