Villanova game thread

[real chili 83]

BC looks packed from what I can see on TV.

We've scored 3 points so far....double our product from Vandy game

Go warriors!!!!!!  And happy New Year.

[real chili 83]

DJO is back.  7 points so far.

[GGGG]

DJO looking good.  Jamil too...looking for his shot and playing very well defensively.

[real chili 83]

Agreed. 

Crowder looks to be in a funk still.

[chicagowarrior]

DJO is on fire!!

[GGGG]

Nice bounce back game by Gardner.  Much more focused on both ends.

What's your definition of packed?

[real chili 83]

Didn't see many empty seats.  Looks like a good crowd, considering it's new years and the Packers are playing.  Thats all.

Ran Blue at point for a couple possessions.  Had a TO and a nice pass that should have been an assist.  Really like the energy.  Jamil and Gardner look like they have stepped it up a notch.

Along with his foul trouble, I wonder if Buzz is sending a message to Crowder?

[JD]

I agree with Sultan,  really like the way van is playing pg.  breath of fresh air!

I'm sure it is foul trouble...why the announcers can't seem to figure that out is beyond me.  Why put him in and get him a 3rd?

[Lighthouse 84]

If Vander could just play in control...

He seems to go into the lane without an idea of what he's going to do.

[Ron Paul]

Token sexist comment.

This woman announcer is beyond bad for my hangover.  Horrible.

[NersEllenson]

Villanova really turning up the intensity and physicality...not being whistled...nor are their many questionable block/charge calls...

I didn't say that.  He's pretty shaky.

It's Big East time.  This is going to happen.  Nova really extended their defense, created turnovers and bad shots.  MU couldn't capitalize.

[Les Nessman]

Loved seeing Gardner throw his weight around that half. He looks like he's playing with more fire than usual.

[nyg]

7:00 minute mark was MU 32  VU 21.  Then Junior, Blue and Wilson started chucking and turning over.

MU had two baskets the final seven minutes to include the one at buzzer.  The only other fg was a gift by Gardner, the rest free throws.  

First 13 minutes was pretty good, the last 7 was brutal.

MU had two very touch fouls called on Derrick Wilson and Crowder defending the drive.  Nova been bodying up a lot on MU - no such calls.  Can you cite one foul called on Nova as MU drove from perimeter to the paint....not in the act of shooting (like the 2 called on Wilson and Crowder)?

Obviously those at the game are seeing it similar as there have been a few "hey, you finally made a call for us" cheers...

Horrendous officiating?  No.  But, can it affect how you play/defend?  Yes.

If I remember correctly Junior was out for about 2-3 minutes and they closed it to 3, because we couldn't score.  Junior came back in and we played it even after that.

Yeah, I know.  MU fans (as many others) always feel that refs are not calling the game right.  <yawn>

[nyg]

Well, no matter what the excuses we will soon find out what this team is made of.  Against a young NOVA team at home.  With that 7 minute scoring drought and Crowder with no points, lets see.  

Watch and see if Mayo gets more time than Vander.  Even both announcers implied the same.  

[forgetful]

I think the reffing has largely been fine.  I will admit though that I tend to wonder why we don't ever seem to get the home cooking from the refs like you see at other teams home games.
