Message: [QUOTE="Hey Adrien!, post: 4479092, member: 5787"] Final thoughts: Villanova is probably our most unique BE matchup of the year. Elite offense that shoots a ton of threes and isn't afraid to go small (Whitmore and Slater combine for about 1/3 of the minutes at the 5 whenever Dixon is out). Speaking of Dixon, he averages about 3.8 fouls per 40, which is quite low, but I can see him getting into foul trouble today if/when Sanogo eats. When was the last time we played Villanova with a PG who can handle guarding post-up guards? I'm so delighted to have Newton right now, as I have way more confidence of him guarding Daniels down low than I would have with Cole, Alterique, Vital, Adams, Gibbs, Boat... As of right now, this is Villanova's worst defensive team since the 11-12 season, so that's that, but I'd still expect UConn to stay in the low 70s with Nova's ability to control the pace (only 14.2% turnover rate, so I do not expect a lot of transition buckets for UConn, even though I'm hoping AJax is reading this post as bulletin board material).
