Villanova at Providence

Interesting camera work

Providence has no chance to win this game if Nova scores 90.

I have Providence ML +150, not feeling great right now. Fortunately, I dislike PC so not gonna feel too bad if they lose.

Nova has that look in their eye, like they came there to ruin everyone’s night. I think they’re gonna do it lol

Yeah I agree with you. Looked like they were out for blood from the tip. Those dudes get up for big games.

Might hedge my bet at halftime. We'll see.

Wow I never noticed how lonely the rafters are at the Dunk. No wonder sound travels so well.

 

[AntG168]

We’re seriously just a ball handler x Shot maker away. That’s what these 2 teams have that we don’t. I hope Dan is watching. CBB is about having shot makers. We need more

 

[CTFAN4LIFE]

I think when push comes to shove I'd rather play PC than Nova at MSG.

They're on the way for next season.

Why is everyone in Providence wearing pink?

Pink= Breast Cancer Awareness, many teams wear pink to show support for the cause.

 

[AntG168]

Btw with the way we’ve played the last 2 weeks, we’re lucky we didn’t have to see PC in that time frame. Whatever luck they were dealt early in the season has transformed into supreme confidence. It may have started as luck, but it ain’t that anymore.

 

[AntG168]

I hope so. Hurley may have to hurt some feelings to achieve that. Right now we have 1 shot maker, with 3 possibles(spades reference lol) RJ is the one. Polley, Hawkins, and Martin are the possibles. The issue with our possibles is that on a cold night they can’t take you off the dribble and finish at the rim(sometimes Martin can). So if they’re off, they’re throwing up 0’s in the stat sheet. Our problem is our team doesn’t have a happy medium. We’re either Auburn/Marquette/Seton Hall good. Or we’re terrible.

It’s not and hasn’t been about coaching or offensive sets. That’s a smoke screen. It’s been about shot making this whole season. Hurley has done a great job recruiting talent. But he’s done a mediocre job at recruiting talent to hide his deficiencies as a coach. That’s what makes a college coach great. They all have deficiencies. But you have to recruit to cover them. That’s his next step.

No question.

I’ll be honest the homecourt advantage isn’t that impressive. Why don’t they play on campus?!

 

[aburks41]

Where is the T on the Cooley? Hurley would have had been thrown out of the game for that outburst. LOL!

Refs have negative respect for Hurley

 

[AntG168]

Yea their crowd way more impressive against Marquette

 

[aburks41]

I’ll be honest the homecourt advantage isn’t that impressive. Why don’t they play on campus?!

Isnt the Dunk like 1 mile from their campus? It’s not XL distance

 

[Dooooooomed]

Ya, the beach blizzard crowd was much better.

Why is everyone in Providence wearing pink?

They do it one game a year for cancer

 

[gtcam]

Refs have negative respect for Hurley

perhaps it is what comes out of their respective mouths

 

[HooperScooper]

High level offense from both teams. Is it the defense or are both these teams very efficient offensively?

 

[RichCTBB]

High level game for sure

 

[awfuldan]

Providence trading 2 for 3 all game. Nova hot from deep and they finish every And-1 opportunity.

Eric Dixon is having an impressive season. Nova keeps finding these thick, skilled 6'8" guys. Never ending supply.

 

[CTFAN4LIFE]

Dixon and Gillespie playing football

Pink= Breast Cancer Awareness, many teams wear pink to show support for the cause.

I obviously know that but was wondering if someone who was important in their community passed away from Breast Cancer recently and they were honoring her or something. Breast cancer awareness month is October.

Gillespie must have some magic spell that tells players taller and more athletic to go for pump fakes.

 

[RichCTBB]

Ed Cooley is great
