Whistle going against the hall

 

[Paulfromhalline]

Refs are facing nova as expected

 

[SetonHallfan3]

Whistle going against the hall

Agreed

 

[dehere23]

Figured I would post during the TO. I think we finally got Nova on a bad shooting night. They are missing the same shots they knocked down yesterday and in the two prior games against us. Used all their long ball bullets yesterday.

Teams looks focused. Good start.

 

[dehere23]

Yea Nova somehow didn't commit a foul yesterday in the first half against two guards who live in the lane. How is that even possible?

Agreed

 

[Jerry1992]

Nice start. Foul trouble could be a problem. Jones needs to protect ball. Nova appears off early. Hope that continues.

 

[IronKaz1]

look good but Madison needs to stop these silly passes

 

[anon_4htvdezyfe7k9]

That continuation call in Brunson's favor was vintage Patrick Ewing circa '95

 

[Paulfromhalline]

jones is personally blowing it

 

[Jerry1992]

Madison struggles vs. nova. Did hit a nice one. Nova off. That is the good, bad is we could be up more. Powell is on his game.

 

[IronKaz1]

and today we have channing tatum killing us, yesterday rhonda rousey and doogie howser today channing tatum

 

[SHUMA04]

Great defense so far.

Really should be up a lot more though given how badly VU has shot

 

[Mr.Disgruntled]

Only foul these refs called on nova erased a Powell 3

Terrible job give every call to nova

Delgado out for awhile. Need to feed him he is making good decisions.

 

[dehere23]

This is the worst Nova has looked offensively since the first game of the conference season in which they almost lost to DePaul. Ripe to be taken tonight. And I'm loving that +11.5 I got.

The Powell foul was questionable just now. So he's been screwed twice

 

[dehere23]

And yes let's please get Angel back in the game. Whoever we play tomorrow won't be half as good as Nova.

[angryfan11]

I'm going to have to be angrier than normal on here because there are children next to me in the arena. I can yell as nasty as I normally do

 

[P615007]

Foul differential way off. Need to attack the rim.

 

[Mr.Disgruntled]

Powell hall of fame play

 

[P615007]

Heady play. From a freshman. Gotta love it.

 

[IronKaz1]

we gotta go inside to Angel they are playing small ball

 

[Jerry1992]

Awesome defense. Let's go. They can win this game. They got nova out of rhythm right now.

 

[P615007]

Desi great hustle. Everyone playing within themselves.

 

[dehere23]

This is unreal. Nova has 14 points at the 5 minute mark. They are missing wide open shots and even the contested ones they make. We need to expand this lead now. The Nova fans here don't know what to do with themselves.

Toughest team in the big east. Come on boys.

Our defense has been very good. Contesting shots, getting in passing lanes, so far so good. Long way to go.

D is great...."punching Villanova in the mouth right now," said one announcer. True.... So far.

 

[Paulfromhalline]

How was that not a travel on hart

 

[dehere23]

Crazy thing isn't I don't even think it's been that good. I think we've been really good on offense and on the glass. But on D I think we are doing what we normally do. They are just missing shots they normally drain.

Great half! Lowest scoring half of season for Nova. Their fans here don't know what the hell to do with themselves!!

Lowest

 

[P615007]

We are making them uncomfortable on every shot. Need to keep that high level of focus. We can win this.

Not so. Our defense is exceptional. We are in their socks!

 

[Jerry1992]

The Nova looks a bit rattled. Love it. Too bad those threes did not fall from kc. Had a chance for a double digit lead. Overall a Great job. First few minutes of second half is key. Jay wright will get nova ready.

 

[anon_4htvdezyfe7k9]

Was there a rule change at some point re: falling with the ball no longer being a travel? The play with Hart was always a travel in years past but I've seen similar plays with no whistle lately.

 

[SHUMA04]

Great first half...but feeling a bit nervous that we are only up only 7.

Villanova shot abysmally - not likely to be repeated.

Feels like the cushion should have been a bit more than 7 based on how awful they were on offense.

 

[halltheway]

Take this first half any time...we have to clamp down even more. J.W. will have them coming out with vengeance. We have to come out stronger..don't let up.
