Villanova game thread

[MattyWarrior]

Game over, Nova didn't break a sweat. How do we score 0 points in five minutes? Team not
prepared for in your face man D

[brewcity77]

Jay Wright whined, suddenly every call went his way and refs swallowed whistles on this end.

Getting killed on the press.

Taking shots too early, movement too stagnant.

That was without the NPOY on the court.

We either drive, or shoot outside. Need to drive and kick.

[damuts222]

We have no dribble penetration beyond jjj...but he makes quick bad decisions when he can't get to rim. Overall lazy passes at top of key leading to easy layups

[tower912]

Luke is the only one who has half showed up among the seniors.    Tallest midget, I will grant you, but of the things I want to complain about, he is down the list.   

[Vander Blue Man Group]

Jesus. Relax.

It's ridiculous how expectations shifted based on one game.

We've played like a complete bunch of morons since cutting it to 2 but we still have a great shot at the tourney based on the larger picture.

Hopefully we play much better in the 2nd half and make it a game.

[JD]

Luke is the least of this teams problems right now. He appeared to have showed up unlike others

What's going on with Howard?

[PGsHeroes32]

Nova 13/17 from 2 lol

[nyg]

Those two shots by KR and JJJ after MU cut it to 4, just killed all the momentum, everything.  It all changed after that.  Man, those were unreal bad shots.

But, another "last four in team", Pitt, just lost at home to Loserville by 55.  Ouch....

Is it me. When we play these big games its like they think they can't win. Even if we make the NCAA we'll most likely be one and done, even if we play in Dayton.

[rocky_warrior]

Jesus. Relax.

Hopefully we play much better in the 2nd half and make it a game.

Yup. 

[tower912]

Double Yup.    Run the offense, take the right shots, drive when you are supposed to, make open 3's.    Hang 63 on Nova.    Fire up. 

[MattyWarrior]

I never thought we had a chance in this game, but I was looking for improvement.Not gonna happen!

[real chili 83]

Luke fisher n jjj are mental marshmallows. Need seniorleadership to start game n they are the worst of the worst.  Creighton game only shows how mentally weak fisher is when factor into the other 3 surrounding games.  Jjj worst bball iq in 40 yrs at MU

Wocky, how's the ban hammer?

[SoCalEagle]

2nd half comeback. Let's go warriors.

[PGsHeroes32]

Double Yup.    Run the offense, take the right shots, drive when you are supposed to, make open 3's.    Hang 63 on Nova.    Fire up.

Let's try and remain realistic here.

We just can't hang with these guys.

Luckily, they are off our regular season schedule so we can win a lot going forward

[TSmith34, Inc.]

Wocky, how's the ban hammer?

+11

[tower912]

Still impressed with this offense?

Usually.   Hey, is this 'Nova' team or whatever they are called any good?    Have they accomplished anything.   Cuz, they seem pretty good to me.

You mean like #7 Creighton on the road?

[CTWarrior]

Not much to say about that half.  Villanova is just much, much better than we are.  We can play better, though.  Luke missed a couple bunnies and we missed a few jumpers we normally knock down.  We are rushing shots on offense, and I don't just mean taking bad shots.  We arerushing some good looks and missing badly.  Thats what good defense will do to you.

[Dish]

I blame the students.

It's you. 

[Stretchdeltsig]

Where the hell are our archers?

[Vander Blue Man Group]

It is still possible for seniors to let the moment get to the them. These are not seniors that have played in games of this significance.

Fischer has been fine but it's been a struggle for JJJ and KR.

[JamilJaeJamailJrJuan]

Haven't read anything, but it can't get much worse than that 1st half. Let's win the first 5 minutes but a few possessions and keep grinding to get it within 8 by 12 minute mark.

[Lighthouse 84]

If we can start rebounding and keep Nova off the boards, we can do this. That and not have a 5 1/2 minute drought.
