Villanova game thread

[Mr. Sand-Knit]

Howards defense has gotten alot better seems to be starting to take pride n play with a chip on his shoulder on defense.
Rowsey on the other hand, his defense is literally horrible

My kingdom for a free throw.

He really cannot stop anyone.

MU is clearly outmatched.  Villanova is damn good.  They are who we thought they are.

[forgetful]

To beat Nova you have to hope they are not hitting from outside, so you can pack it in a bit.  They are on fire from outside.  It is going to be a long night. 

[MUBigDance]

Heldt is only going to get marginally better. Hope he doesn't mind 5min/gm next year.

Nova just a lot better than us.

I've turned it back and forth from football many times

I think every time I turn it on Sam is making a dumb pass

Not like him

[skianth16]

Sacar's offense tonight is looking much better. I like that he's attacking when given space. In a game like this, we'll need everyone to step up, so contributions from him on the offensive end are great.

He seems surprisingly flustered tonight. I wonder what's up with him? This is the kind of game I expect to see him thrive in

[nyg]

Yes, Rowsey is not a very good defender and Brunson backing him in, but wow this is worse than Providence game, how many layups/dunks can a team give up.  Plus they have hit threes, makes it difficult. 

With all that and some really bad turnovers, only down 10.

Sammy with his third TO, last two on DT traps.  He needs to play smarter than that

[Johnny B]

lol painful watching heldt out there. gets the offensive board and has to pass it out because he has zero skills inside. total waste of a scholarship.

[MattyWarrior]

outmanned at three positions or so, what you gonna do

[connie]

Rowsey's defense vs. Len Elmore's commentary.

[PGsHeroes32]

Even if we are getting crushed

I love seeing Markus still canning shots

Need him to stay hot for a while

[skianth16]

Rowsey's defense vs. Len Elmore's commentary.

Ohh, that's a tough one. But after Len Elmore said Sam's clear 2 point shot was just within the NBA line, I think Rowsey is sitting better than Elmore.

[TSmith34, Inc.]

Held 'Nova to 62% shooting, so....yeah.

[nyg]

Nova shooting 62% with a lot of layups/dunks. 
MU only 6 turnovers, seems like 20.....

[TSmith34, Inc.]

Hmmmm, no Cain again.

[muguru]

Eric Paschall 2-27 on the year on 3pters...3-3 tonight. That right there more than anything else is the difference in the game.

[mileskishnish72]

There is something to be said for playing defense.

[PGsHeroes32]

7/16 from 3 and still getting smashed

Probably because we are 6/15 inside the arc

[skianth16]

If we can figure out a way to cut down on the number of uncontested shots in the paint in the second half, we'll definitely cover and may have a shot at being competitive. Kind of a big if at this point, but we seemed to figure it out at PC

I'd say it is more the parade of uncontested layups and dunks

When your guards can't stop penetration...
