Message: [QUOTE="Eagles20, post: 1234265, member: 3628"] Just watched the last 17 seconds over again... comments on Joseph.. What was he doing defensively.. He chose to take away neither pass up top and rather stood in the middle going back in forth to guard neither hilliard on the cross court pass or chose not to come over and take away the closer pass that led to a wide open 3 and an easy pass for Archidiacigno. To make matter worse he followed that great defensive indicisveness with having Cooney screen for him to get open and instead of making a move off the screen decided to come back to Cooney which brought hilliard back into the play and caused Cooney to trip on Hilliards foot and fall down (archi was physical but not enough to make cooney fall down) The third mistake was by Chris to completely run in a half circle under the basket from the other side and bring his defender over to get in the way of Christmas. If he doesn't come all the way over even if the defender tips the ball away from christmas it possible goes out of bounds and we are inbounding the ball on the side again. Christmas also could have done a better job of getting his body in front of pinkston while coming down the sideline to shield himself to receive the ball. I also enjoyed how he took a second to throw his hands up in disgust and look at our bench long enough to allow himself to get out of position and for pinkston to receive a pass and lay in the tying basket. It was also very nice of Mike G to let the ball hang out on the floor long enough for Villanova to set up their pressure man defense instead of getting the ball right away and passing to a wide open Cooney was unguarded for a few seconds. O well, a great 17 seconds [/QUOTE]
