This is a really good game.DePaul is currently giving Villanova everything they can handle. I’m surrounded by (very nice) Nova fans and you can tell they are nervous. Could be a potential upset brewing. Nova seems to have a difficult time handling the physicality and pace of the game DePaul is playing right now.
(One of the fans behind me is the mom of the Villanova assistant coach so I get to hear some good insights. )
DePaul had Villanova on the ropes. Just couldn’t finish.
Only one has to wake up and guard Maddy Siegrist in less than 24 hours.And they both are wore out. They both fought tooth and nail for the win. And tommorow they do the same. So when uconn handles thier business. I look for them to be waiting on who ever crawls out of thier game. FYI. We have been playing those types of hard fought games all year. And with Azzi and Caroline. I like our chances. Go Huskies.
Seton Hall had their chances to seal the game with free throws, but they split a few of them when they were in the bonus. When up by three, why did Seton Hall chase after the Creighton player who left the 3pt area? Let her drive all the way to the basket. You would still have been up by 1pt, if she made the shot. Instead, they left another player wide open that nailed the 3 pointer to tie the game. That was a baffling defensive stance. Creighton’s off the ball screens weren’t that good. Not sure why they were getting so many open looks. SH just didn’t fight hard enough or maybe they were exhausted. Many of them played a lot of minutes. LPL played a helluva game dropping 36pts 8 boards and 6 dimes. I felt bad for her after the game.Possibly the most pathetic circus shot attempt at a game winner I've seen (by Creighton), but the rebound and putback was pretty solid.
I would take that bet.gut feeling that Creighton beats Nova.
