Booth actually was significant contributor on both Nova championship teams but his best year was year after 2nd championship when he averaged 19 ppg

you're right. i was unclear, referring to that championship game where he had a huge game against UNC

 

[MugCostanza]

Villanova is an impossible team to handicap because they shoot 3 many threes and give up so many threes. Every one of their games basically comes down to shooting variance. It's how they won in Atlantis but lost to Penn and Drexel. Creighton went 4-25 from 3 last night.

Phil booth was really good for nova. he was a key piece of that first wright championship

Ok thanks . I forgot the name Booth . To me , Gillespie was as valuable to the Cats as anyone.

Not as good a player as Brunson .

So you’re saying that the Johnnies should have no problem at Creighton?

Sorry that was meant for tnice

How the heck did seton hall dominate uconn?

The same way they beat them last year in Newark. That place is Hurley’s kryptonite. Uconn was awful it seemed. Clinghan got hurt. And the Hall kids made some of their one on one plays. Richmond in particular absolutely murdered UConn for some reason.

As a senior, Booth averaged 18.6 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 3.8 assists per game. He finished his career as the ninth player in Villanova history with 1,500 points and 300 assists, and he played in a school-record 148 games.

This one along with Seton Hall at Xavier should be very interesting prelims to watch before our game. Hoping to catch parts of both.

To Cooley and others…..HOME IS WHERE THE MONEY IS.

Was looking forward to watch a competitive BE game tonight, but Marquette is beating up Georgetown. We cannot slip up against the Hoyas. We have to sweep them.

Beating up indeed: 81-51. Hoyas look awful.

Couldn't happen to a nicer guy

I almost feel bad for Ed Cooley. He can cry all the way to the bank.

Prov all over butler early. Posh is so limited as a player. Jenkins is such a major upgrade over him.

But with 3:39 to go, it's at 60-60. As for Posh, 6 points (2 for 8), 1 assist, 10 rebounds. (Think most of us, myself included, are too obsessed with Posh's stats.)

Update: Friars in OT, 85-75.

10 rebounds, not 10 steals

Excellent game between Providence and Butler.

Anyone else think the Conference schedules starting earlier and earlier each year. I mean everyone is in Game 2 and it’s not even Christmas yet. Less games in Feb/March. I guess.
