Villanova Game

I think you guys are underrating archidiciano. He is crafty and most importantly he is smart. The kid continuously makes winning plays. Always gets the loose balls, finds the open man, gets foul calls (like it or not), and makes clutch shots. Rysheed has a tendency to throw his shoulder/elbow when he makes drives, I hope the staff is warning him about getting called for offensive fouls this weekend. We need him for 35+.

Agree. The kid is a gamer. Shooting %s only tell you so much.
I really hope Jordan comes out hungry for this one...chip on his shoulder. His hometown team didn't want him and the reason why is the kid playing opposite him at the same position this weekend. Go.
 
Expect Wright to use 1-2-2 three quarters press to attempt to slow down StJohns offensive tempo.

IMO Jordan will have a big time game as he returns to Philly. He will drive Arch crazy all afternoon.

Or he's going to be so over-amped that he'll try to take over the game on O with wild plays and comitt silly fouls at the D end.

Let's hope you're right.

I expect you will see Harrison try to take over the game, not Jordan. Jordan proved at the end of the Seton Hall game that he's a point guard. That play was an isolation for him, he saw the pass to Obekpa as the better option and took it.

If that play had been drawn up as an isolation for Harrison, the shot would have gone up.

I think Jordan will just play his game and do well on Saturday.

Just my opinion but I think Jordan can take over a game without scoring points. With the ball in Harrison's hands with the clock winding down, it's Harrison or nothing. With the ball in Jordan's hands, anyone can burn you. I'll take option B.
 
looks like ill be making the trip to Philly. if anyone has two extra ticks that they are willing to sell let me know. Would much rather sit with johnnie fans.
 
I don;t believe he (Arch) will be covering Jordan.

Logen..... I see Jordan guarding Arch and I see Jordan making Arch stop his dribble farther from the basket.

I believe Villanova will play 2-3 zone for most of the game.

Let's hope not.

I am sure Jay Wright will utilize a zone with st johns on saturday for most of the game. Everyone knows about our weak outside shooting. If BC can beat Cuse we can beat anyone in the Country.

I am posting below what I posted on another thread in case you are interested, seems like close to 40 people based on "who is coming" link on the SJU website (15 plus their guests)

For anyone interested, the alumni office is having a reception for the Villanova game on Saturday. Tickets are $55 for both the reception & game, $30 for just the reception & $25 for tickets. The registration for this closed yesterday on the school web site but if you call the alumni office there are still a few tickets lefts and you can register with them.

I don't know what I love more: a) there are 13 pages about a game that doesn't tip off for 2 days; b) Nova fans are talking s----about us (a clear sign there's some concern); or c) my girlfriend wants handle suggestions to join the site. Winning cures soooo much. Fyi I suggested Dame'dominick Pointer Redgirl or Metta World Girl

While all 3 are good, Metta World Girl takes it by three lengths.

If they press us, they are digging their own grave. That would be the biggest present they could give us.

Exactly. Nova better be careful, because if they let the pace of the game get too fast they could blink and be down 15, just ask the hoyas...

And I'll take option A. I love Sheed but there have been stretches where he has gotten a little out of control and will make a crazy play, charge or commit a stupid foul. Arch plays more under control and has a knack for drawing fouls. Let's hope Sheed has the game under control because we need him out there and effective.

"taking control of the game" (and her boyfriend)
:)
greetings from Aruba - my good fortune
and yours - and all the best with your relationship
 
We are due against Villanofun! Tired of losing to Ryan Arcidiacono he is good player but, we turn the kid into Steve Nash every time we play them. We have the talent to beat anyone. I want a win and a Cheese Steak from Jim's on the way home.
 
Gtown / Xavier at 11 30 am on Fox 1 tomorrow am- hope it's a quick game.

Oh geez. If we miss the start of this one I'm going to be pissed. Fox needs to find a place to put their spill-over games. the mobile app, FS2, FX, something.

hell, put it on FoxBusiness, no one watches that at night or on the weekends.
