Message: [QUOTE="Ricker, post: 4211632, member: 1245"] Looking at Nova's losses: Baylor crushed Nova with the best defensive man to man defense that I can remember, and Nova scored 36 pts. We can't replicate that effort. Creighton - Nova was 4 for 23 I think from 3. A godsend if we catch them on a similar cold night, but I doubt it. Marquette beat them TWICE. Once nova was 6-11 from 3. Eleven 3 pt attempts is only half of their normal and they have games over 30 tries. We can replicate whatever Marquette has done to win. To the film room Danny. The extra's we need on our side to win IMO. 1. Work the refs even in warmups, to call displacement on Nova down low when they throw themselves into player's chests down low. Saves fouls on us. Puts them in foul concern. Takes away their 'go to' move. 2. Martin and Whaley hit from 2 feet and in. We're the best offensive rebounding team because we miss the most bunnies and we're right there to try again padding our stats. No empty trips missing bunnies. 3. Polley & Hawkins hit a total of 5 threes or more Nova isn't an unbeatable team, but their style execution is so unique. I think we're going to do it! (but not enough to put my money where my mouth is) UConn 66 Nova 62 Maybe? [/QUOTE]
