Villanova BET Championship Postgame Thread

[Mdoggie]

That’s the CW @TeamFirst! Was championing. Well deserved MOP!

 

[ProSkeptic]

3 seed? I think not. Nobody with even the most questionable of credentials can project that anymore.

Doubt it highly. Too many good teams have lost, and UConn more than passes the eye test. They haven’t allowed 60 points since when. The question is where will UConn be a #2 seed? I hope Bridgeport, but could be Greensboro opposite SC. Let’s hope not.

"We want UConn" chant at the end... not sure how I feel about mocking a team we just beat so bad.

That was meant for the Villanova pep band

 

[HuskyFan1125]

So happy for Christyn but I was hoping Evina would snag the MOP. She had a great tourney.

 

[BlueSkyGLW]

If the selection committee doesn't think we are playing like the 6th best team now and put us in Bridgeport, I want some of what they are drinking.

Are you underselling UConn's level of play? By the time they hit the regionals, opponents should be very afraid....especially if Paige's injured leg continues to improve. That's about 18 days away, right? A good chance for Paige to be closer to Paige.

This BET was a killer at this stage of her return....3 games in 3 days....

But I think Coach wanted to test her while watching her minutes...playing with the other 8 has now helped her get a better feel for them in game conditions.

Last night the Nova fans chanted "We Want UCONN", I wonder what they are chanting right now.....

A pup talk…

 

[warbler1055]

Here is hoping PB will get stronger in the next few weeks. It's really hard for her with the surgery and painfully recovery. We need PB in the next few weeks.

Why do the Big East trophies look so cheap?

LOL! Not sure why

The ACC trophy has been the best looking one

 

[darrell]

Christyn MOP of the tournament!!!

Finally getting her dues. I hope she she has an outstanding last dance.

 

[nickp91]

UConn looking hella good we coming for that NCAA tourney

 

[Geew1992]

Who made the tournament team?

 

[oldude]

Last night the Nova fans chanted "We Want UCONN", I wonder what they are chanting right now.....

Maybe, "We got UConn......"

 

[Tonyc]

UConn put on a show tonite and what a show. You know what. I took some do do when I said UConn has the resume to be a 1 seed. I doubt they get it but there is no team playing at UConns level at this point in the season. This team has earned Bridgeport with what theyve been through this season and where they are now.

Why do the Big East trophies look so cheap?

Geno mentioned the ACC trophy And asked how he could get one. Was that a dig to the Big East about their cheap trophies?

Jonathan giving Liv a talk pre-game:

I can't believe I didn't describe it as: "Jonathan gives Liv a pup talk."

 

[Iluvacc2]

Evina and Aaliyah made the all tournament team along with MOP Christyn

It's the three-eyed fluke. Don't look now, but I'm throwing it out the window.

 

[jaydee602]

We remember a giggling, stuttering CW in her 1st interview after beating Notre Dame years ago. Now she is so well spoken & she could be a valedictorian! KUDOS!!

 

[Vowelguy]

UConn has the resume to be a 1 seed.

No, no it doesnt.

Why cant you just enjoy the win?

 

[jdote33]

happy to see Azzi bounce back. CD as well. Not worried about PB. She was great the first game. Its tough to play 3 games in 3 days. even if shes not the superstar she was last year, I'm confident she'll positively contribute in the tourney.

 

[darkstar1]

CW deserved MOP as much as anyone. But this has been a team lately with not 1 star, but 9. Love the team play.

 

[HuskyNan]

 

[jabstep]

I stand by my opinion that we have the best defense in the country right now. All players are working hard and switching and helping. All players gave their all and shared the ball and it was great to see after a tough year. Woooozer!!!!!!

 

[f1f1ferrari]

Average opponents score in the last 8 games - 40.0. The defense has been SPECTACULAR!!!

 

[HuskieDawg]

I love that Geno stayed with a 9 player rotation. The team had as much energy in the final 5 minutes as the first 5 minutes, and they all showed they can contribute.

 

[UConnCat]

Aaliyah Edwards is back. Her defense tonight was outstanding.

 

[Kaizen]

Evina and Aaliyah made the all tournament team along with MOP Christyn

Azzi should be in this team ..

 

[housekeys]

Congratulations to Villanova. They are a worthy opponent. Siegrist is worth the price of admission. Good coach. Hope they get rewarded.

 

[mudblood]

@Vowelguy Indeed, it does not have the resume. But it currently plays like a number one seed.
