Villanova Post Game Thread

[HuskyHawk]

Gillespie and Nova are just so hard to hate. Very frustrating team to play though they just don’t make mistakes.

Gillespie is very easy to hate. He’s good, but he’s smug and annoying and gets all the calls.

 

[StllH8L8ner]

Great game. Frustrating, but Nova is good. Had our chances. On to the next one.

 

[KingAG]

Can’t be mad at that one. We leaned on our guy and he just didn’t deliver. Let’s pray for a 4 seed

 

[UncleSpliff]

I dont know how many times i was screaming at the tv for sanogo to dunk.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen him dunk in the post in 2 years.

 

[the Q]

I mean. Good game plan. Played well. Sanogo KILLED us.

Make a layup. Hold onto a rebound. We win.

Missed open shots.

Barely lost to a team that can contend for a national title.

Regroup, make a run.

He was 100% fouled on that rebound.

That was the worst call of the night

To call a foul on UConn there was a travesty

 

[Kenny11]

He never gets off the ground.

He doesn’t jump well but there was some today that he usually dunks.

 

[kansashusky]

Better team won. Sanogo was a killer. Another missed opportunity.

Sigh.

 

[WhereistheDove?]

The announcers drooling over Gillespie was pretty annoying

I mean he put on a passing clinic and just killed us for stretches in the second half.

 

[elmcityboy]

tough game. we played our A game in the first half and our B- game in the second half. nova was just more consistent.

the two ref calls at the end of the first half (the polley out-of-bounds and the cole block/charge) were killers, too.

 

[Ripper32]

Martin and Whaley played great. Cole was abused on the defensive end, which was expected. He's just an easy target with his size.

 

[upstater]

Lots of missed opportunities. It really is hard to fathom how many little things weren't right, from missed free throws to missed bunnies, etc.

The block on Tyrese Martin's wide open drive was basically the play of the game.

 

[WhereistheDove?]

I don’t think I’ve ever seen him dunk in the post in 2 years.

You don’t watch many UConn games, do you?

 

[UconnU]

Sanogo had trouble with his hand that was taped. He couldn’t catch passes cleanly, obviously had trouble with touch on his looks. Is something wrong with his hand?

 

[uconngb]

That is all

 

[KingAG]

If we have a better Sanogo and Hawk we may win. That was two very good teams. Someone had to lose

Did I miss something? Was Polley in bounds on that 3 he shot?

 

[connVA]

Strong disagree. I think they’re pretty easy to dislike.

Yeah, I have no problem hating them.

 

[uconnever]

He doesn’t jump well but there was some today that he usually dunks.

He looked tired today, but I think this bodes well for NCAA’s

 

[Palatine]

Sanogo 8-26 (30%) in the BET. 2-11 versus SH. 6-15 versus VU.

 

[KingAG]

That lost rebound down 3 sealed it

 

[methodology]

Team was right there and fought for 40 minutes. Could have gone either way unfortunately tonight Villanova executed better and came out on top.

Time to rest up and get healthy for the tournament

 

[mauconnfan]

Adama lost this game.

Don’t tell 87xfer that!

He played hard but overall not good again

 

[VAHuskyFan]

Just a bad game by Santogo

Leading rebounder in the game. Tough game shooting, but he was good on defense as well.

 

[superjohn]

No shame at all in losing that game. If Sanogo just plays his C- game we win. Refs boned us on RJ foul at end of the first half and the missed foul on Adama's rebound at the end.

Sanogo was brutal and Cole was off and we still had our chances until the final whistle against a final 4/title contender Nova team. Rest up, heal up, and get Hawkins back for the dance.

I like our chances to go on a nice run.

 

[elmcityboy]

also, sanogo had 15 and 13 -- even in his bad games, he is ridiculously productive.

 

[WhereistheDove?]

Did I miss something? Was Polley in bounds on that 3 he shot?

Real time it didn’t look like he was out of bounds but I don’t think we ever got a replay. If anyone has that, I’d love to see it.

 

[Hi-Low]

Netflix weekend...onto the Tourney.

 

[YoungFree]

It was a great battle that didn't go our way. March is so much better in the Big East.

I wanted a win badly but man it was a good game and we continue to trend up folks.

 

[KingAG]

Somethings off with his hand. He’s never been incredibly efficient. But something is bothering him

 

[wheelerdog]

When we win two games next weekend no one is going to remember this.
