2:40 Wisconsin vs VIllanova Game Thread

[Marty McFly]

Total flop. This guy annoys me.

Arachnid 2.0

 

[Cowtown]

Koenig is so legit. Where does one find Point guards like that?

Well, he is a senior ...

 

[Alsacs]

I would KILL to have Brunson on our team.

Kid looks just like his old man.

Francis03 on his podcast talked about Rick Brunson and his son coming to the SU Elite camp and we didn't offer him.

His son wanted to come to Syracuse and was ready to commit and we didn't pursue.

LOL.

 

[HakAttack]

Yes, and you don't know the half of it...

Dad [Syracuse native] was very, very interested in having him come to SU. Despite the kid being a top 35 recruit, JB wasn't all that interested because he was 6-1 165 pounds at the time. They visited on their own dime to gauge interest, only to get rebuffed. True story.

Sounds like the time JB was told we had to get Joakim Noah and he replied that we already had Terrence Roberts and he'd be better.

If I hear about one more baller that we turned away, I'm going to lose my ****!!!!

That makes 4 big time players, on tourney teams...that I know of.

What a horrible last play for Nova.

 

[Alsacs]

Another Nova early flameout.

They got screwed with Wisconsin as there 8 though.

 

[longislandcuse]

At the rate of nonsensical recruiting moves we've had lately, im waiting for the story about how Boeheim turned away Kevin Durant so he committed to Texas.

 

[HakAttack]

What a horrible last play for Nova.

Got to think Wright drew it up better than that.

 

[Cusefan0307]

Jay Wright has been out coached IMO.

 

[HakAttack]

Jay Wright has been out coached IMO.

Disagree. Wisky's guards were better in the second half. Plus Hayes emerged.

 

[Lucid]

And there it is!

 

[NKR1978]

Wright choked that game away.

 

[AZOrange]

Nova got hosed. These are fouls. And Hayes
Looked like he stepped out

 

[Briancuse]

Nova has had a lot of early round failures.

 

[Cowtown]

Nice job by Wiscy. Nigel Hayes is a beast. And it was one of the best reffed games I've seen all tournament. Just IMHO, of course.

 

[OrangeDW]

Got to think Wright drew it up better than that.

So sometimes it is on the players and not the coaches? Hmmm.

 

[JSOrange97]

Nova was counting on the officials to bail them out. Good win for Wisky.

 

[JoeySimz]

I'ts actually amazing how well the refs did at the end. Usually they start tightening up and calling phantom fouls.

 

[NKR1978]

Got to think Wright drew it up better than that.

I dunno...he probably wanted them to go to the basket. And probably wanted time left for a rebound, though I don't love that strategy.

 

[cuse10]

15-5 run to lose the game is a choke job. At least Nova fans can rest their heads on the fact the team won it all last year.

 

[OrangeXtreme]

I guess we can cross Wright off the list.

 

[Cusefan0307]

Disagree. Wisky's guards were better in the second half. Plus Hayes emerged.

Koenig has balls, but they never attacked him once he had 4 fouls. Complete meltdown by Them IMO. They were ahead by 7 with 4 to go.

 

[CorduroyG]

Twice wright put the ball in hart's hands to go 1 on 1. Twice it ended in turnovers. Should have put the ball in Brunson's hands.

Go home nova, so glad they're out.

 

[OrangeDW]

Well, Nova lost. Guess the position of "power northeastern program" is up for grabs again! Maybe Rhode Island will keep winning and claim it!

Reactionary H0T Takes time!!!!! Screw it!
