Let me in on what Johnnies defender doesn’t go for fakes? For that matter, pretty much any player on any team?

I agree with you but as a typical frosh he seemed to go for a decent amount but also he's so tall it's more noticeable

Heck he sat on the Nova bench after one today and took a swig of gatorade

True, except not sure how good nova is. They seem fairly ordinary. But that could've been due to our intensity.

We had a lot to do it…set tone early on defense and played fearless (sometime to the extreme) throughout

I was sitting in the pavilion extremely quiet and respectful like this….

UNTIL that Dunlap corner 3 late. Idk what the score was. I think we were up 7. That three was the dagger.

I stood up and pounded my chest like a madman, screaming…

The nova fans started clearing out in a hurry

WHAT A DAY!!!

Thank you. Almost exactly as I hoped you would.

Just finished watching this, what a great win!! And on national TV too, gotta love it. Jenkins played great, have to give him full props here. Luis is reminiscent of Curbelo today, but trust Pitino will get him under control.

Luis is nothing like Curbelo. He was not eating popcorn!

Villanova although not a top 10 team like years past, still a VERY good team.
although they have 3 worse losses than ours to Penn, Drexel & st joes,
they have 4 wins against top 40 teams, coming into today we only had one, now 2!
they deserved a NET higher than ours, but we won by 10 away, huge wire to wire win !!

Luis made serious winning plays. Yes, he can chuck a little less, but the guy hustles and makes small plays not on the box score.

 

[vegasman2000]

Good win. Hopefully the Garden is loud wednesday

I'll be there section 109 row 20 seat 10 if anyone wants to say hello

 

[vegasman2000]

I vote yes.

The thing is the way Nova plays, shooting outside, minimizes Ledlum's rebounding advantage over his replacements, so I wouldnt say better or worse, just it was the right game to miss.

Jenkins taking heat from the board all season. Time to give him some much deserved praise. He really played well today and made some clutch shots and a huge steal and layup. Every time Nova was gathering some steam, Jenkins came up big. That dagger 3 from Brady was off a Jenkins pass.

I agree and have changed my tune, it's just that he leans into, instead of away from, his one glaring flaw.

Rick loves Ledlum’s hustle and rebounding and his vote is only one that counts. He never would think we are better w/o him & go w the group today over him.

nice offensive rebounder, which we needed without Ledlum. if he can stay healthy and get his head straight watch out.

Great couple of days watching New York’s pro basketball team and New York’s college basketball team beat down Philadelphia’s teams in their buildings.
