Creighton to battle Villanova

[dmwisc&illinois]

We will learn a lot about these two future opponents tonight.
I think Creighton will give Villanova a very close game.
Creighton may be a lot better than most pundits predicted in the preseason.

Shot 88% from inside the arc... 68% overall... whoa.

For the first time in what seems like a couple of years nova committed to working the paint. The results were great.

Nova had been running the spread and chuck offense (4 guys on the perimeter, pass it around, maybe throw it in the paint only to kick it back out, and then chuck threes). That was not the case last night. Ochefu was assertive when he got the ball and acted like a go to center. Josh hard was taking his man off the bounce. Brunson and booth were getting into the paint. It was nice to see.

We all know if nova shoots well they can win. What they need to keep improving on is being able to win with a bad shooting night.
