villanova point guard

[willie warrior]

Granted it's not until 2015, but I really think Nick Noskowiak is going to be our version of Arcidiacono. Pretty comparable ratings-wise. Both are four-star point guards with similar skill sets and build.  Noskowiak is currently ranked 52nd in the Rivals 150 Class of 2015. Arcidiacono graduated with a ranking of 57 in the class of 2012. So you can whine all you want about why Buzz doesn't have a crafty point guard like Arcidiacono, but the reality he has one on the way. Just give it time.

I guess this means that you have written off Duane Wilson?

Not at all. Just saying Noskowiak and Arcidiacono have similar skills sets. Hopefully Nick and Duane will be a great compliment to each other when they're here. They'll definitely be a step up from what we've got going in now.

6 pts, 7 assists 5 rebounds.  Although he is not great, our PG did not cost us this game.  In fact he played very well.

Sad that this is very well for him.

I said he was a good player and I'd love to have him.  But 10 of his 20 points was from the line after we intentionally fouled him late.  Another good chunk was in OT (which he did as much as anyone to cause happen).

He played a good game but many others have played better against us.

Then you are still missing the point. He made clutch FT's down the stretch--something we all know Wilson and his 48% FT shooting will never do. That kid Aberdicio or whatever the hell his name is, ran circles around our stud, Lock down "game changing" PG. This kid looked like an All American against Derrick.

Does that mean white?

They have ONE player over 6"7. How the hell did they get 13 offensive boards and what I assume were several easy putbacks.

Sadly, it was even worse.  Usually the rebound was kicked out for an easy, unguarded 3.

But the thing that sticks out to me most in the box score is the fact that Nova grabbed 13 offensive boards and shot 48% from the floor. That is NOT a PG problem. They have ONE player over 6"7. How the hell did they get 13 offensive boards and what I assume were several easy putbacks.

Our PG ineptitude goes way beyond the box score because it affects every player on the court.

That being said, I was screaming at the TV after some of those offensive boards. So frustrating to watch. And as another commenter said, several of them led to 3s, as so often happens. We corral even half of those and it's a different game.

If we switched PG in this game do you think we win? PG is the most important position in college ball and we have not won that battle in one game. We have not really beat a quality team, but I am amazed that we have hung close in some of these games.

Does that mean white?

No. Someone who can create on offense, sees the whole court, can change gears on the dribble and force defenses out of their plan.
