Who ya got

Team we played yesterday looked like a typical Nova team we’ve seen over the last 10+ years. Very good man to man defense; a good passing team that catches you ball watching and find the open 3 point shot with the ability to shoot at high percentage. Sure, we played like dog poop, but if Nova can keep that level of play and be consistent the rest of the way they could be tough to beat.

Again, a head scratcher why their record isnt’ better; I guess chalking it up to most teams playing them showing up instead of our putrid showing yesterday.

First, Villanova does play pretty good defense. They’re 23rd in the country in efficiency.

A lot of it with them is 3PT shooting. Villanova is 16th in the country in 3PA:FGA, 20th in the % of their points that come from 3 but they are a below-average 3PT shooting team. After yesterday’s good showing against us (14/30), they’re up to .333 as team, just 198th in the country. They also shot 10/28 against Providence in a blow-out, so it’s been trending better.

They were only 6/21 at Xavier in a loss.
