dan in daytona Posted April 1, 2018 Report Share Posted April 1, 2018 Some of us old timers remember see an underdog Villanova team shoot 79% from the field and win a national championship many years ago. They shot great tonight, but they need one more to be ranked among the school's greatest. No hater here... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legendsofthefall Posted April 1, 2018 Report Share Posted April 1, 2018 Nova made the most 3 pointers in the history of college hoops this year. They probably won't make that many against Michigan but they have so many guys that can beat you on O that it won't make a difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mjd33 Posted April 1, 2018 Report Share Posted April 1, 2018 Villanova was just red hot last night that’s an outlier. But when every team plays their best A game nova has the highest ceiling. I was worried about Malik Newman but Jay Wright did the correct thing by starting out bridges defending him with his length and athleticism he’s tough to get by .... Nova defended the 3 very well that’s one of the main reasons they won. They are an elite rebounding team and always get a lot more scoring opportunities on the offensive glass than their opponent.  On offense, they are very unselfish and Jalen Brunson gets his teammates lots of clean looks. He’s the Most trustworthy Point guard in the tourney & Graham not being able to stay with him 1 on 1 was one on the main reasons KU had to go zone. Remember when Brunson got knocked over by scorer’s table and all 4 teammates on the floor ran and went to pick him up? That was a great moment that showed not only team comradery but the respect they have for their floor general. Still have one more game to close the deal though .... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bormio Posted April 1, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2018 Anything can happen in a single game. Â But Nova is a great team. Â Can play different styles, plays good defense, does not make a slew of mistakes. Â There is a reason they are on the cusp of 2 titles in 3 years. Â But if Michigan gets some breaks and Nova is a bit off, Michigan can win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michigan has to control the tempo, limit turnovers and possibly use size inside to do that. Nova is gonna boat race the wolverines by 20 especially if Nova plays like they did against Kansas... Michigan is in no shape or form athletically or basketball wise the same caliber of Kansas, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legendsofthefall Posted April 1, 2018 Report Share Posted April 1, 2018 Nova has been favored in every single game this season. Sure Michigan can win if all of their perimeter guys are on but Nova is the odds on favorite for a reason. They win this game by double digits and that means all 6 tourney wins by 10+ points.

They are working the boards on both ends of the floor. Michigan will have to fix that or they will be in serious trouble. Nova missing a lot of easy buckets or it would be much worse. Michigan is settling for too many jump shots when they need to take it to the paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mjd33 Posted April 3, 2018 Report Share Posted April 3, 2018 A very special & complete team .... nova was better from 1-5 with it being a push at best at the 3-4 spot with Wagner. Give me this nova team over Anthony Davis’s Kentucky team anyday of the week. Nova much better shooting squad and the bigs on the wildcats can stretch you out and hit the 3. Divencenzo was the difference maker ... he was only guy who showed up in first half. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
