[quote="BrookJersey Redmen" post=279549]What a great win over Michigan, a terrific example of high level team ball. The shot selection, hitting the open man, smart picks, and drives to the hoop perfectly executed even Gillespie.
No McD AAs, but team ball; hustling D, group rebounding, and stubborn determination. I think the longer/extra t.v. timeouts helped keep Donte fresh, but what a game he had; I guess his big games against us were not flukes.
Hats off to Nova and now Jay Wright has one more national championship than Jim Boeheim in a whole lot less number of years. Good for him. Classy guy who when they lost to us didn't cry over their injured missing players and gave us kudos instead. He pointed out we were without Lovett.
I wish the rest of the BE gave us a better showing and I sure hope and pray that we are in the same conversation as Villanova sooner rather than later.[/quote]
Excellent ball movement and success at finding the open man, but there were also some great one on one moves and 3s made with an accelerated degree of difficulty. At least accelerated based on our standards. As Mullin has said many times, you can draw up the world's greatest play, but it's meaningless unless someone makes the shot. Villanova has more high level shot makers than any team in recent memory, if not ever. if Ponds goes for 9 points, we would have trouble beating anyone. Brunson goes for 9 points, and Nova dominates a really good Michigan team. I'm both envious and in awe of what Wright has accomplished.
