Villanova game thread

Branch need to bring it up and Phill need to be on the wing.

Yes, Phil Greene playing the point in a word-CONFUSED.

Calls were blatantly in favor of 'Nova for the majority of this game. Even that last play, how was that not over the back against Greene?

Refs hosing us all night

Branch need to bring it up and Phill need to be on the wing.

So why isn't that happening? Greene is proving what an awful point guard he is.

we look tired.

and that's a disgrace.  you cannot use "we are a young team" and "we look tired" as legitimate excuses.  They shouldn't go together.  They're young, so they should have the energy.

im not using it as an excuse. im just saying it as a fact.

not saying you were specifically, I'm just done with the excuses from other people around all the st. john's boards.  How many more excuses can Lavin and co have before there are results?  he has shown zero coaching acumen

This performance by lavin and the refs was laughable.

each of them costs us the game on countless occassions.

Sampson comitted two fouls when he fouled out. They only called the one. I am just saying

Bright side: We win this one by 10 with Sanchez.

Would have been tremendous win heading to Cincy. Damn shame

Nova 27/34 FTs We made 11.

It's becoming a trend...there seems to be a consensus that night in and night out that Lavin does a really poor job in-game.  He's not putting the team in the best position to win.  He can recruit, sure.  But the talent he recruits goes to waste with his awful game management. 

Branch showing immaturity in the OT period. Shot selection horrible.

He got a team that was a 7 seed in the NIT the previous year to a 6 seed in the NCAA tournament the next.  Calm down.

What is your opinion of the refs tonight?

Mine is I havnt seen a worse job all year.

Refs sucked, but we are not a smart team. Fouling Hilliard on three pointer after we took lead says it all. Turning point!

Key stat to this game.

Bright side: We win this one by 10 with Sanchez.

too bad it looks like he wont be suiting up for us this year, at this rate.

Refs were worse than lavin, but after so much success on the wing earlier on why did lav move green back to the point only to cost us late in the game

Yeah but Green plays the point like a Special Ed kid trying to do Geometry, IT JUST LOOKS TO HARD FOR HIM

There has to be legs to the recent articles saying theres a good chance he gets cleared.
