Couldnt expect more than this so far wish Moore didnt get that offensive foul on the Wusu corner 3
 
Good half.   Could be up more.  Think Nova will make adjustments and shoot better in second.   But, gotta think Champs also gets going. 

Fun watch.  
 
great to be up by 3 at the 1/2 without Champ getting into the flow after missing his first three outside shots.
We all have to assume Villanova won't shoot that horrific from outside in the second half though.
I hope Champagne gets that first basket in the first minute or two of the second half just to make  him feel better and gain confidence.
 
Need Champ to settle into this game. Nova won't miss a lot of those open ones in the 2nd half. Dunn holds the ball too long then decides to pull from 17 feet. Not his game. Wusu posh and cole delivering from distance so far. Would not be surprised if they try to press us a couple times

Wusu hit a couple huge 3s in this half as well. We got so lucky we got these guys 
Scored, had quite a few boards and played tremendous D, and this kid is just a Frosh. I really like our back court going forward. This kid is improving from game to game. 
 
Can't complain about the result so far. Need to get Champ going early in the 2nd half, stop going for the ball fakes, especially by Swider and Gillespie, get Champ going, rebound the ball, don't miss any more chippies, get Champ going, no charges, value the ball, get Champ going.....
 
No foul trouble for either team. Happy to be ahead, but suspect Gillespie will shoot better in second half. We need Champ tp wake up if we are to win. Dunn is  a great leader/defemder but is also a bricklayer.   Hope GWill is not reinjured.
 
Very nice half.  But please stop giving up the offensive rebounds. 
 
Some are speculating Williams hurt himself again.  Was he grimacing after the dunk?  Didn't see him although I know he was taken out shortly thereafter.

He's really putting his body on D getting physical on them when he can and I think just in general it's throwing them off a little

He shut down both Gillespie and Moore on multiple occasions. Just looked like they couldn’t do anything with him. And he’s the freshmen against all BE guys.
 
those offensive boards were problematic, as usual, but to be fair there were an extraordinary abount of very long rebounds over our heads when we were positioned properly.
