It is though. If you watch nova, you see how they spread the floor. Everyone knows nova spreads the floor , often even 5 out. That’s a two way street and why jay wright is great.  Everyone thinks nova spreads for 3 point shooting and they often do, but it’s predicated on spreading and posting people  1 through 5 one on one with back downs exploiting those one on one match ups.  ( see Gillespie bouncing around our guards last year) . Then the way it usually happens is nova finds one or two of those matchups is very advantageous so then a team responding has to help down and then they start their kick outs for 3 point barrages.  A great system and jay recruits for it.  Players like Cole  and gaff will have their hands full. No matter who they guard.  Conversely we do have defenders including AJ and Martin who can negate some of this. I would expect Hurley will have to make choices on who guards who because nova like us is pretty interchangeable 2 through 4.

We have advantages too on them. Namely Sanogo offensively. Especially this year nova has no 5 who can hang with that. Also rim protection and break defense.

Gonna be a good one.
