2/3 Villanova Game Thread

Yeah they need to push Wusu and Posh out there, there should be no Dunn

Also what happened to Roberts?

Gritty gritty win. Posh is playing at an unbelievable level and changing this season. Keep it up. Props to the staff for emphasizing defense.

unreal, team is definitely on the bubble now

Signature win of the season and Anderson era. Team's peaking at the right time. Some real progress. Fun game.

Hey Carmine it's a good thing the first 3 coaching choices turned us down, huh?

This is a potential season-altering win. We needed to take one from Nova to make up for the 1-5 start.

BOOM! what a game we didnt just win this game we dominated from start to finish! We have something special with these guys...Julian, Posh, Cole, Moore, Wusu all played great tonight this team is starting to gel.

Lets go!!!!

*also that ML bet was nice as well =)

Posh and Dylan were terrific tonight.

Gtown loss might look a little better if they hold on and beat Creighton

Are we playing that wel during this streak or catching teams at the right time? 

I haven't been able to lock in on games over the last 2 weeks.

Tonight we out worked Nova all over the court. They missed a ton of open shots and a ton of second shot opportunities.

Great win! I think 5-3 the rest of the way get's us on the right side of the bubble, or atleast needing a BE tourney win.

Great win! I gotta give CMA credit called TO when needed. Have called every name on this board. The team is an easy group to root for!

So awesome to have a major upset mean something more than a great answer at trivia night at the local bar.

Gtown loss might look a little better if they hold on and beat Creighton

As bad as they’ve played, GTown always had talent. They have the BE’s leading rebounder.

What a statement.

That Dylan drive when Nova cut it to 10 late was awesome. He saw the gap in the lane and didn’t hesitate AT ALL to take it...very slick finish too.

Posh is insane.

Posh is going to rookie of year and make a case for defensive player of year.

Wusu is a beast and with him having a respectable jump shot he can get the defenders to bite on his shot fake and then bullies his way to layup.

I was very impressed with Moore tonight thought he did all little things well played solid defense and rebounded. Earlington too I thought played good defense but he needs to finish those easy layups.

Julian had a double double on an off night this team is very deep

One big improvement that we haven’t seen enough of was strong interior defense. We didn’t overcommit tonight. We were ready for them.

That was about as fun a game as I've watched as fan in sometime.  Not just because we won, but because of how we won.  This wasn't Ponds putting on some insane performance where he drops 30+, is unstoppable and a few other guys make enough plays.  The toughness and tenacity our kids played with threw Nova so out of whack.  You never seem them like that.  Gillespie is so good and tough as nails, and Posh basically took his soul tonight.

Also, by and large, the kids played within themselves.  Cole took and made shots when they were open.  Moore was around the paint and causing havoc on D, not jacking up 3s or out of control.  Earlington despite missing some bunnies was tough.  Wusu -- played fearless, under the control and beyond his years.  Champagne didn't sulk when he wasn't scoring, but contributed greatly on the boards and defense.

And Posh - I don't know what else to say.

I have no idea how this team comes out next game and have given up trying to predict how they'll do.  Cooley will have his guys ready to go after 2 bad losses.  But what I watched the last few games has been really fun.

Team was fantastic tonight. We were more physical and punched them in the face to start. Kinda crazy watching a game against Nova at Carnesecca.

We dictated the tempo and Gilespe looked shook against Posh.
