While they have flaws...this is why Nova is dangerous.


They are so damn efficient. If by chance they are making 3s(of course today they are) then run and hide.

Hope they play like this in tourney. BE needs to rep good!!

I love JJJ's stroke in catch and shoot situations but when he has some tie to bring the ball down he has this hitch at the bottom of his motion around his waist and he misses.

Nova is seriously jumping the passing lanes.   MU, particularly Derrick, needs to adjust.   I cannot remember seeing a 2-3 zone extended as far as MU is right now.

Post by: Nevada233 on March 12, 2015, 11:31:47 AM
They gotta defend the Villanova 3 ball besides that its a good game.

Close hard force em into tough 2 balls. The rims in MSG are real friendly, seems like everyone can hit a 3 in the garden. Except The Knicks.

Villanova watched film from last night Carlinos not gonna be able to roll off screens for "Seton Hall Game" 3 pointers....

Very smart on Jay Wright. The defender totally bails his man to defend Carlino. Wojo should have Duane or JJJ rolling to the rim the best slasher off that double team.

Juan has butter fingers around the rim.

well looks like its over...disappointing. the talent differene between the 2 teams is alarming. need to stay on the 3 point shooters. villanova can't miss, carlino can't hit a shot

last night i had no problem with jajuan and sandy not playing much, because juan and derrick were playing well. today both juan and derrick has been awful. lets see something from jajuan and sandy.

Well, we needed the opposite to happen and it didn't.  They're on fire and we're not.   If it doesn't turn around in the second half, we're done.

So last night Wojo was a good coach because they played well on defense, and today he isn't?

Maybe this is what you get when a bad team plays a really good one. Marquette is not a good basketball team, we have a whole season of evidence to back that up.

a lot of his assists were simple passes to open 3 point shooters. derrick isn't a creator, but usually he takes care of the ball. tonight he hasn't and when that happens he is a major detriment to his team. honestly the pg play at marquette has no where to go but up next year. when derrick is the best you got at that position, you know you've hit rock bottom

C'mon, is any of this a shock? MU is playing with house money. Few picked them to win last night. You have a tired team with practically no bench playing a rested, elite team that's looking at a #1 seed in the tourney.

The season ends today. Which is fine, because we can start thinking about next year.

Can't do much about the threes. Ouch.
Sure you can! You lose the zone and play tight man. Why are we playing zone against a team that rains threes? You reap what you sow. Wojo is a great recruiter, but has a ton, a ton, to learn as a coach. Especially adjustments. Last night we had a 25 point lead with 5 minutes left, and Derrick and Carlino played every minute. Wojo did not sub them until about a minute left. A noon game today and both Derrick and Carlino are beat. Carlino 0-5 and Derrick with 5 TO's at the half. Villanova is a very good team, but Wojo has much to learn about game coaching.

To be fair, Nova is playing some of the most physical defense I've seen.  They play D like this in the tournament, and the non BE refs will call a lot of fouls.

The inability to draw fouls this season is perplexing.

This team must have one of the lowest FTA season totals in recent memory.
Putting the opposing players in foul trouble is just one more factor MU could have implemented in the first half.

Sure you can! You lose the zone and play tight man. Why are we playing zone against a team that rains threes? You reap what you sow. Wojo is a great recruiter, but has a ton, a ton, to learn as a coach. Especially adjustments. Last night we had a 25 point lead with 5 minutes left, and Derrick and Carlino played every minute. Wojo did not sub them until about a minute left. A noon game today and both Derrick and Carlino are beat. Carlino 0-5 and Derrick with 5 TO's at the half. Villanova is a very good team, but Wojo has much to learn about game coaching.

Some people don't like to admit that coaching does matter.

MU would have been better off playing man and letting the guy drive in for a layup once it became obvious they were going to be hot from three point land.  Instead, Wojo lets MU get it's brains beat in with that awful zone.

One interesting thing is that when they show Wojo in the huddle during a time out, he's always talking about playing tougher but he's never giving specific things to do to help the situation.

His biggest weakness seems to be not being able to make in-game adjustments.

When television is allowed in the huddle, they are only allowed to use footage such as this.  They are not allowed to use parts where strategy is a part of the discussion.

I mean, timeouts are three minutes long?  They only show 10-15 seconds at most.

You know those aren't live shots, right? They don't broadcast what inbounds play a team is going to run or what specific adjustments they're going to make. If that was the case, coaches would hire an assistant whose sole responsibility was keeping the camera far, far away from the huddle. They show a 10-second clip of encouragement.
