Nova thread

[IronKaz1]

Of couese we start with the opponent hitting a 3

 

[SHUSA]

then a shot clock violation.

announcers calling in from a cell phone??

 

[SHUSA]

good to see cale hit early

 

[SHUSA]

nova last 3 shots look russsssty.

aiken back!

 

[Pirates13]

Aiken in already haha. Gotta love Willard

 

[SHUSA]

we would really be in trouble this year without rhoden hitting really difficult shots

 

[P615007]

Rhoden is solid. Love his development this year.

 

[Jerry1992]

Decent start. Glad to see Aiken back but hold my breath every time he drives to hoop. Hope he can stay healthy for a while.

 

[IronKaz1]

Is this the NBA 3 point shootout on all star weekend? Nova seems to think so

 

[IronKaz1]

they certainly are NOT rusty what a shocker....... Rhoden is our only guy so far

 

[STLPirate12]

So much for Nova being rusty...

 

[NYC Pirate]

14-11 Nova just over 14 minutes. Nova with 4 threes already. Halll with 3.

Great start Rhoden. Good move getting Aiken in. Don’t want to wear Shavar. Out.

 

[Robot_Man]

Garbage defense that Villanova is obviously exploiting. Nova's gonna be rusty, huh?

We're the team that looks like we haven't run an offense in almost a month.

 

[TomWall]

Decent start. Could be a lot worse. Of course our opponent is shooting the lights up from three, seems to be the rule

 

[P615007]

Got to get mamu involved. Nice!

 

[IronKaz1]

we aint winning if they keep shooting 3's like Larry Bird is

 

[Robot_Man]

Decent start. Could be a lot worse. Of course our opponent is shooting the lights up from three, seems to be the rule

If it happens every game, it has more to do with our team than the other team.

 

[SHUSA]

geez mamu came to play.

gillespie had his foot easily over the line

 

[papacheesy2]

This game is gearing up to be a classic

 

[NYC Pirate]

22-18 Nova under 12. Hall looks very good on offense but Nova on fire.

 

[TomWall]

If it happens every game, it has more to do with our team than the other team.

Definitely due partially to our lack of defense. We fall for the pump fake worse than any team I have ever seen. Anybody that scouts us is telling their guys to pump fake. But they are really shooting the lights out as did several teams recently against us. So far were shooting pretty well too.

run an offense in a decade*

It’s early but it does already feel like that. Just knowing how these teams typically match up you can kind of feel it

 

[IronKaz1]

Nova's offense " Shoot 3's"

 

[Robot_Man]

Definitely to partially to our lack of defense. But they are really shooting the lights out as did several teams recently against us. So far were shooting pretty well too.

Agreed. Willard seems exasperated, though, and so am I. The way they're shooting right now, if we go cold, this will be Creighton all over again.

 

[ivyhillparkk1963]

making Gillespie look like pete maravich geez

 

[silkcitypirate]

Molgets way to many minutes offensively gives us very little

 

[IronKaz1]

Covid rust my ass

 

[P615007]

Good start. Mamu looks solid. Rhode on on fire. Have to take away the three point line and rebound well.

 

[ShuBall]

We cannot guard the perimeter at all.

 

[SHUSA]

we need to run a back screen for samuel when mamu has the ball in the post. everyones eyes on mamu.

 

[SHUSA]

mamu again from deeeeep. quick trigger. its working.

 

[Stevie_H]

Mamu is pulling up from halfcourt next time he touches it.

 

[SHUSA]

the guard play doikg exactly what we thouggt

 

[IronKaz1]

6/6 from 3 and were tied thats a bad sign no ?

 

[TomWall]

6/6 from 3 and were tied thats a bad sign no ?

Rhoden on fire. Wow!

 

[papacheesy2]

This is a pleasure to watch. From both teams.

 

[lloyde dobler]

If it happens every game, it has more to do with our team than the other team.

Or maybe that they are No 3 in the country?

 

[SHUSA]

rhoden doesnt miss hard shots.

 

[flconticello]

Rhoden on fire. Wow!

This should open up the paint later in the game where we can pound them.
