[QUOTE="Chief00, post: 2535263"]
Villanova drained 15 threes against our zone defense. We made 8 threes - and that accounts for the 21 point difference. You need shooters to win and many of our guys can’t even shoot 50% in warm-ups when they should be making 70% - 80%  of their shots.

Rebounding was the other thing that killed us - Villanova had a 48-32 margin including 16 back breaking offensive rebounds.

A number of casual fans disagreed with my Larrier  comments before the game. So here we are several hours after a 20 point loss, a game in which he was a non factor. Were  we better off playing him long term despite Terry not practicing this week?  Would he have benefited from practice? What type of message does this send the team about not practicing? Was it worth lowering our standards?

Two guys hit 10 0f Nova’s 15 threes. Did we do anything to make life difficult on these two dudes - pick up at half court and take  their legs away etc. I mostly did not see any adjustment.
Carlton showed sone sound fundamentals - he catches the ball fairly well and he actual  has some decent post moves. Needs to get stronger and more explosive.  Hope  for the best.
