Villanova (3/21/21)

[NorthTexasWeLove]

Close. Out. They're playing their butts off and the game is being played well beyond TV timeouts so I know they're tired. But can't give great teams like V wide open looks off of O rebounds. Those are daggers.

Hamlet playing all world early.  Need to really work on close out on their shooters.

His offense reminds me of Tony Parker with some of his maturity and stat line of Jason Kidd. I hope he gets a few looks from NBA scouts because he can play and he is selfless and a leader. (I actually hope he returns next year... but if he can go further go baby go). 

[Andrew]

Gotta stop the barrage of 3’s. We can’t let Nova get confident and hold a small lead. They are dangerous.

Nova 26 ------- NT 21

 

7:31 to go

 

Wildcats on a 13-0 run.  Exactly the sort of situation I was afraid of.

we've gone cold. 

[Charlie NT 73]

Damn! Nova cannot miss at all on their 3’s!

13 point run by Nova!

[peanuts104]

The 3's are nuts.

[Greendylan]

That's about the most disastrous three minutes of basketball possible.  If this meltdown continues, this won't be close by halftime. 

[RBTX]

What's worse is at least 3 of them during this run are wide open.

Well, when they're mostly unattested and in rhythm good teams knock those down. 

[Tom McKrackin]

Feeling concerned.

[greenminer]

This is great basketball.

If 'nova keeps shooting like this, there's pretty much nothing Hamlet and Co can do.

[Tom McKrackin]

They are picking on Reese.

They could play defense on the perimeter.

How is that an and 1? BS. Foul on the floor 

[akriesman]

Villanova shooting is ridiculous.

Can't stop them.

[Matt from A700]

Just keep it around 10 going into half. Their shooters will cool off.

[emmitt01]

I don’t who you are, when your opponent is shooting 8/12 from 3 you will have a hard time winning

[RBTX]

Either they're hitting a 3 or getting and ones. Will be lucky to keep it below 20 at the half at this rate.

[Andrew]

I’m with the announcer. We are going to need some D and points on the bench.

 

I guess Murray better step it up and be our answer...

I wasn't wrong.

Exactly. Can’t let them shoot open threes all game.
