Villanova game thread

You mean like #7 Creighton on the road?

That game would be a different story if Watson played.

[chapman]

Fischer was decent.  Everyone else has combined for 15 points and 7 turnovers.  The life of playing a really good defensive team; you need to play near perfect just to stay in the game.

[PGsHeroes32]

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.

Outside of the fact we might be due to have a team meltdown vs us for a change.

No we can't do it. They score at Will from inside. If god forbid the 2/12 from outside changes we lose by 35

That game would be a different story if Watson played.

You mean like top ten Providence on the road last season with Dunn and Bentil?

Or do you want to keep shifting the goalposts?

[Dish]

That was a horrible first minute of 2nd half, atrocious.

[Windyplayer]

And open up second half with worst defensive possession of the year.

[ATL MU Warrior]

and...:60 in to the 2nd half the game is over.

[tower912]

Wow.   Apparently not going to win the first 5 minutes. 

[PGsHeroes32]

I'll say it again. Nova is 7 deep. And about 45 times better then we are


Granted, they are better then most teams but still...

Hauser has to lead the universe in soft fouls. He is nowhere near ready to play in this league, but if he puts on 10 pounds in the upper body during the offseason he'll be OK .

[Vander Blue Man Group]

Look at the bigger picture. Look at how they respond to this.

This is absolutely disappointing thus far. But we have huge games coming up against Butler, Creighton, and Xavier. This will serve a purpose.

[muhoops1]

Raf and Brandonwant MU to be competitive in the worst way.  MU just can't comply

Wow.   Apparently not going to win the first 5 minutes.

Unlike you to not even wait 5 min!

Sam has been great in the league.

[GoldenZebra]

Im more surprised that people expected anything different...

[nyg]

Man, nice run then Hart goes thru four MU defenders for layup, then Luke drops pass.  Darn....

[Lighthouse 84]

Do we have a good run or two left in us?  We'll need at least two more. Need JjJ to play smart and stop trying to do it all himself.

[Vander Blue Man Group]

See the graphic on Hart's growth?  We have guys like that who need time.

[PGsHeroes32]

Huh? Hauser is already a nice part of the team and will be a big time player

[Vander Blue Man Group]

Horrible carom leads to a 3.

[rocky_warrior]

Wow.   Apparently not going to win the first 5 minutes.

Lead cut by five in first 5 minutes.  Do it 3 more times and we win

Sam has been great in the league.

Great? His shooting pct. is great but he cannot get off his shot. He'll be a fine player but Nova is eating him alive. Ten pounds of strength will help.

[Dish]

Nova does the little things that make such a big difference. Very smart basketball iq besides talent.

[wadesworld]

Great? His shooting pct. is great but he cannot get off his shot. He'll be a fine player but Nova is eating him alive. Ten pounds of strength will help.

He's averaging 10.2 ppg and 5.3 rpg in the BE while having the 2nd best 3 point shooting percentage (behind Howard) in the conference.  He's been great.

[cheebs09]

Why is our zone using 3 guys to cover the guy who brings the ball up the court? Killed us with open 3 or shooters.
