Message: [QUOTE="Improviser, post: 3860243, member: 10683"] Quite true. Some teams are just better than their opponent. While we could have won some or most of the other games we lost, this one was different. Villanova switched better on defense, was able to get more open looks, and executed better because they are better. Better passers, better ballhandlers, better boxing out on their defensive rebounding. Jay Wright has a resume' with 2 Natty's which helps recruiting. UConn has a good upcoming recruiting class that might even get better with the two more unfilled scholarships. Martin missed badly on his 3's, but a lot had to do with his being well defended. Even post-game, Bouk admitted he pushed himself too much in the second half and should have looked for this teammates. The game was no shame, and losing to a top-tier national team is no shame. No reason we cannot win the next 4, and a game or two in the BET, depending on the matchup. [/QUOTE]
