Nova game thread (cubed)

[muwarrior69]

Enough with the refs, every game is their fault, when not really. 

Its the layup after layup after layup, Sam, Rowsey, Sam, ten Markus all in a row beaten bad.

Sam no points, has to do what he did last game.

Nova had one point lead with two minutes to go, now seven.  Just a shame. 

Still in good shape, no stupid turnovers, hit some threes and get Sam involved.

Could it be they know their going get called for the foul if they make any contact while Nova can make contact and not get called.

If you can't see we are getting killed on drives and finishes at the rack, don't know what to tell you.

And as for your Synergy data - screenshot and upload image here for the whole team's D-Ranking by player.  Curious to see what that looks like.

Lol. Can't accept the reality of the stats. Gonna shift goalposts and start attacking someone else on the team.

I really hate to say this, but given how there's no rational explanation for these calls on Theo, I can only surmise that if he cut his hair and put on a bowtie he might get fewer calls against him.   

No, he just commits them.  He'll learn one day about aggressiveness.

At least only one starter has two fouls and thats Heldt, Theo has two in like two minutes.  Brunson has two and Gillespie two for Nova.

Those calls on Theo were fouls.

One looked all ball to me. But I don't have DVR so I accept that it could have been something I missed in real time

[GoldenZebra]

Raft getting shoes from MU, hahahaha.

Have you watched any MU games this year, MU is worst fouling team in BE and in bottom quarter in all NCAA.  In this game MU only has 8 and Nova has five fouls.

Just look up points in the paint difference and stop worrying about refs.  And another MU foul on a shot....

[Its DJOver]

Sidebar, Harry looks very enthusiastic on the bench

Yeah...go look at the stats.  Are you aware Markus Howard and Harry Froling are better defenders than Sacar, and place 3rd and 4th on the team defensively, per Synergy?

[jesmu84]

Cain with a nice steal.

Not great offense a couple possession in a row

[mileskishnish72]

Too many easy hoops. Haven't seen the points in the paint but it must be pretty one-sided.

[GGGG]

Ahhhh...  Discrediting the source now. The playbook is obvious.

[muguru]

Still don't get Rowsey on Brunson...your worst defender on the BE and possibly National player of the year?? I mean..WTF??

[AZMarqfan]

this is brutal...26 pts in paint.  Switch to zone and make Nova shoot from more than 4 feet. 

[muguru]

No! can't do that! sultan says it won't work, therefore, it won't...No point in even TRYING it. 

[SoCalEagle]

Where is that zone??

[nyg]

this is brutal...26 pts in paint.  Switch to zone and make Nova shoot from more than 4 feet.

That's all?  What's MU in paint?

Nova just penetrating each time, Jay Wright knows how to coach.

[MUEng92]

I know we aren't supposed to comment on the reffing but are we to believe an MU defender would not have been called for a foul if they tapped a Villanova shooter on the hand and feet simultaneously like divenchenzo just did to Howard

[Floorslapper]

Ahhhh...  Discrediting the source now. The playbook is obvious.

Simple Question:  You think Howard and Froling are better defenders than Sacar, Heldt, Theo, Cain?

This aside, the layup line continues.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Still don't get Rowsey on Brunson...your worst defender on the BE and possibly National player of the year?? I mean..WTF??

This I do agree with. The problem though is Nova's size. If Rowsey doesn't guard Brunson he has to guard someone at least 8 inches taller than him.

Nova has figured out the M2M. Gotta make some sort of adjustment.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Simple Question:  You think Howard and Froling are better defenders than Sacar, Heldt, Theo, Cain?

This aside, the layup line continues.

Then Theo? Absolutely.

The others I explained in the proper thread. PPP allowed is not the end all be all stat. But it is one of the more important ones.

Are you questioning ppp allowed as a stat? Or the source collecting the data?

I think it's cute how much you are obsessed with me.

[muguru]

Atta boy Wojo! Keep staying with the man to man!! It's working wonderfully!

[MUEng92]

I think they haven't missed in 45 minutes
