I don't like seeing Ed Corbett in the mix.
Rowsey with one of his patented dumb fouls. He needs to be smarter than that.
Looks like a 3 point fest.
Not shooting well and no offensive rebounds. Would like to see Cain for Annim right now.
Brick fest so far
Sloppy travel by Cain.
Sam is not playing well today. That bad boxout on the missed FT cost MU. Follows it up with a poor closeout for a 3 point play. Doing nothing offensively. Hope it's not the knee.
Lack,of quickness from,our post guys just kills us against this team. Elliott has to get stronger over the summer......guys just backing him down on a regular basis.
Sam has struggled against Nova all year.
Glad Markus is back.
Sam seems to be running finebut has made some very Un-Sam decisions/plays.
Still giving opponent too many offensive rebounds
Supporting cast has to do more......2 guys can't beat this team.
Sam trying to shoot out of the postup and is shooting over some length in Pascal and Bridges. Did get a switch with Brunson on him and Brunson had to foul.
Villanova not playing all that well, yet still up 7 at half. Can't keep letting Nova score right at the rim. Need more players to step it up in the 2nd half.
Need to try zone. I know they can shoot, but need to stop the layup drill.
Turnovers killing us now
Offense with 4 or 5 empty trips in a row........
It's over......can't score now.....Nova best offense team in the country.....if our offense doesn't show up....no chance
It was fun while it lasted. Hello NIT
Really frustrating that he never tried switching it up until the game was out of hand.
That rebound putback - ran right past two guys that could have easily boxed him out.
And what's with Corbett? First Wojo, then Howard, then Rowsey... putting his hand on the small of their backs and rubbing them? That is beyond odd.
MU losing the rebounding battle 28-18.
Nova is just so good
Nova 8-12 from 3 in 2nd half.....zone wasn't going to make any difference folks.
Getting to the point that I hate Nova know cuz they are so good.
I wish Markus and Rowsey would create that contact to get fouls like the Nova guys do. Changes the game.
#1 seed in the NIT. See if we can make it back to the Garden.
Nobody could beat Nova tonight
All 5 guys can shoot the 3......making them even when we are there......just an incredible performance in the 2nd half
Tough task to beat the #2 team in the country to get in the tournament, but the guys lost heart after that run in the 2nd half and it was over after that.
