He punked them. That stretch early in the 2nd half where he was going from one side of the court to the other keeping possessions alive was just next level freak.
Yeah it’s like playing against a root canal.
trek? it’s a 90 min ride
I told some Nova fans they’ll need to move this game to the Finn in the future if they want to try and keep us out.
So who is better this year? Whose your Daddy this year @Zissou? LOL!
Okay now.
Here’s to next year. We need you guys to be good. We are legitimate peers, and I care way more about you guys than Finger Lakes State at this point.
Jay Wright was one of the best ever, but his recruiting the last couple years of his tenure was not good at all for whatever reason. The cupboards are pretty bare there on that front. It’s a proud program, with good reason , the could bounce back quickly, but Neptune has quite a task in front of him to restock that empty cupboard. That takes time, as we know.
I think it's less "if he wants a player he gets him" and more he figures out fits and interest and targets players he knows are gettable. He's also absolutely exceptional at spotting talent—he doesn't just look at rankings.
They're pretty loaded- Moore, Dixon, Whitmore, Slater, Daniels (Wright transfer) Armstrong...
Jealousy is a disease
@Zissou, can you tell us what this is about? Someone pointed this out in the highlight video thread (which I'm sure you're not going to look at). In this highlight video each time UConn scores in the first half you can see a Villanova player on the bench with a white towel over his shoulder who claps for every UConn basket. Do you guys have a traitor on your team?
Slater, Daniel’s and Whitmore are all gone . Their class next year is ranked 138th
@ caw and Zizzou - Exactly. Nova being on the bottom half of the bracket is better for them. Marquette has really had Nova's number this year and last year, and UConn, too, in the sense that they locked down Nova's offense with great defense which is difficult because very few teams play offense like Nova. Also, Providence swept Nova twice as well. It doesn't mean Nova can't beat Marquette, UConn, or Providence but the bottom half of the bracket is better for Nova.
I know but those are all Jay Wright recruits along with Whitmore, Armstrong, Longino, Patterson...

Nova isn’t playing the O as in recent years. Too much iso / backdown, not enough passing, not enough drives and kick out or score or go to the line. I could go on and on our gaps but I won’t here.
