UMichigan vs. Villanova

I guess if the Patriots had moved to Hartford...then 2004 would count for Nantz's data point.
 
Michigan would be expected to make 8 or 9 3s on 23 attempts. They made 3. 15 to 18 additional points puts them right back in it.
 
Where was this behemoth Nova program during the old Big East years? Holy cow.

You act like those 3s werent defended. Good defense = bad 3 point shooting

Oh I know that. I was just saying, this team has no legit seniors. They could all come back if they wanted to. Would be the surest repeat in history. Amazing.

Nova missed more 3s than normal too. So playing that game...

Any way, ugly final 4. All double digit wins, 2 of the 3 games were especially ugly lopsided affairs. Probably one of the worst in recent memory. Just by a competitive game stand point.

Yup. Dull as hell. Though you've got to appreciate Nova when you watch them.

UM got beat at their own game as well they dont belong in the same arena as Nova let alone the same court.

Oh, Nova is good, scary good. What is more scary is I am not sure any of those players were especially heralded as freshmen which means they have a coach that could be setting up the school for a nice long run...

Can't tell if serious or not, Michigan didn't even belong on the same floor as Nova.

Shooting "luck" is always underrated in game narratives. Missed 3s lead to transition opportunities the other way as a double whammy. Did Villanova play good D and force fairly tough 3s on top of Michigan being a mediocre shooting team? Yeah.

Nova shoulda hit one more 3 on average.

Is Villanova a better team? Yes. Should Michigan have been in single digits, maybe a 5 point game with 2 minutes left, something like that? Yes.

You watched a different game than I did, Nova is better 1-7 everywhere except for Wagner. Nova is just lighyears ahead of them. If you watched those two teams and the talent disparity didn't jump at to you, I don't know what to say.

Every team looks amazing when the other team goes 3/23 from 3, that's the point. Villanova deserved to win. Michigan deserved to keep it closer.

Again, we watched different games. They could play that game 5 more times and Nova wins big every time.

Right you can't separate single game results from process or grasp expected results. Villanova had a good 3pt D on the year. Even if they held Michigan to their season D average instead of Michigan's 3pt O average, Michigan would have 12 more points and be within 5 barring fouls.
