how in the hell do you bite on a Richmond pump fake from 3, Longino gotta read the scouting report

 

[UCan3]

Oh no. Dixon get up.

He’s okay.

I think the Big East loves St. John’s… Good D is Good D but they are mauling ’Nova and not getting called for ANYTHING…

 

[aceboon]

Nova lost that 11pt lead fast as hell

 

[aceboon]

disaster of a fast break by Brickus

 

[Revrat]

Refs let alot of contact before this review. Nova got mauled

 

[3rdbass]

Villanova up 4 with under 2 minutes. Can they close it out?

 

[bendm]

Video reviews are brutal. Should be a 60 second clock on em. If ref hasn’t decided by then, then the call stands.

 

[UCan3]

St Johns has players that can take you 1 on 1.

Not a lot of strategy, just beat people 1 on 1, crash boards when you miss and pressure the ball.

 

[MJKI]

Ejiofor complains more than any player I’ve ever seen about any foul. He’s insufferable and half of them are obvious fouls

 

[UCan3]

St John’s blowing it in one of the quietest arena’s ever…

 

[3rdbass]

Villanova is about to lose this game. LOL! Well maybe not. They hit a 3 too.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

I would foul on any <80% free throw shooter in the last minute if you are down even a basket and it is a 1 and 1. Stretch the game.

 

[UCan3]

Scratch that Dixon pulled a Karaban at the line - how ironic.

 

[storrsroars]

Ballsy 3 there by Nova. Not the shot I would've played for.

 

[aceboon]

I was ready to bang on Perkins for not seeing Dixon WIDE OPEN for a wing 3 but then he eventually knocks down a 3 himself on the same possession

 

[TRest]

I have a hard time accepting St John’s might be good.

 

[UCan3]

Ballsy 3 there by Nova. Not the shot I would've played for.

They needed that one… We’ll see

 

[3rdbass]

Ballsy 3 there by Nova. Not the shot I would've played for.

Why it was wide open? So many times you see horrible last second shots with players draped all over the player shooting. You to take it when you can get that wide open of a shot.

 

[Scott2Tate]

Cmon Nova! Beat the Johnnies

 

[3rdbass]

St. John's goes down.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

This is a really bad loss for St. Johns, and UConn.

 

[aceboon]

good for Nova, Dixon was gonna be sick if that loss came down to him missing a front end FT after a few weeks ago he dribbled the ball off of his foot in the last seconds vs Creighton

 

[Revrat]

I know some people don't like him but I love Fanta's passion

 

[storrsroars]

I would foul on any <80% free throw shooter in the last minute if you are down even a basket and it is a 1 and 1. Stretch the game.

Gotta admit, I'm surprised Nova didn't foul Kadary and his 50.7% FT.

Disagree. The league race stayed alive tonight. We’re in it.
