Villanova (MSG), Wed., Jan. 24, 8:30p, FS-1

[Demo]

Wilcher played good, but still have some doubt that he's gonna be breakout player.

Deserves another start. Provided some spark and shooting. Different story about a tight game at the end though.

I see why some would doubt but I also see a future killer.

I have to agree. He’s a top-50 frosh for a reason. He’s a boy still playing against men. Newsflash: so is Dunlap.

I honestly don’t think Taylor has taken a bad shot all year. It’s absolutely crazy.

It is remarkable how well Pitino uses his public comments to motivate players. Look forward to seeing Dingle respond with his play.

That's what exactly happened tonight.

Sitting out hurt Dingles 3 point shooting. 0 for 5

He second guesses literally 95% of his shots and drives. He needs to be able to make 2-3 bad plays in a row and know he’ll be fine.

Sitting out hurt Dingles 3 point shooting. 0 for 5

Quiet 12 points for dingle - just needs more playing time, confidence and the ball.

Again, there are no gimmies in the BE. We have to do this every game.

TRUE!
The difference now is we have a Coach who understands that and despises losing.
He'll make certain we come out ready to play every game.

Drissa making the most of his minutes

the offense slows down when he's in the game.

Little does he know that an 8 or 9 seed has been our dream for 20 years.

Yes, but those of us who have been around long enough know that an 8 seed is mediocrity. We can do better. And we should do better.

Are we to the trade portion of the NIL era yet? Because I’d love to acquire Dixon, Bamba, and Armstrong. Cash considerations.

I have to agree. He’s a top-50 frosh for a reason. He’s a boy still playing against men. Newsflash: so is Dunlap.

He looked good with bigger minutes in rhe lineup. Definitely maturing. Little doubt he has a high ceiling. Stepped up a lot. Dunlap better right now off the bench. He will have his time as well. Ejiofor has come on in a big way especially defensively. Far better than Soriano. I think he will improve his offense a ton next season.

Overall amazing to sweep Nova. This kinda win definitely has tourney implications that are not yet realized considering the quality of this win and a sweep by a large margin. Let’s grab another win next game. Easiest portion of our schedule is the tail.

Complementary contributor for now is fine, anything else gravy

I think we will see a breakout game from wilcher before end of season. Tonight he looked real solid.

Dave called it. I was hoping for 15,000 but 8:30 on a Wednesday is a big ask.

Am I the only one who still felt nervous up 15 with 4 minutes left in the game?

830 start and the type of game play zapped energy from the crowd. But overall I think we're developing a nice home court advantage st MSG. We must show up to drown out the Yukon faithful next home game.

We're getting there...

I thought we'd get 15k given the late start.
