@Villanova, Wed., Feb. 12 , 6p, FS-1

[RedStormNC]

Not the best play there

Nova was the better team tonight

 

[kranmars]

Oh well. Time to start a new winning streak.

 

[Spocky Ramone]

Good opportunity to drive the point home that you need to start balling immediately after the opening tip.

 

[gregbodkin]

This is what happens when everyone is gunning for us.

 

[paultzman]

Tough loss, but Nova played better on defense, denying post entry & forcing SJ to take threes. SJ to me was off defensively, it happens.

On to Creighton

 

[Andrew]

Not used to losing.

 

[guinness77]

Zero from Zuby lost the game.

Giving up 73 lost the game.

 

[MJDinkins]

K should have gone full speed to the rim there

Agree. Maybe we could've gotten a wide open look for the win or he scores and we'd be playing in OT.

 

[gregbodkin]

Giving up 73 lost the game.

D was off.

 

[sjc88]

Tough one. But it happens. Disappointed to lose but I never feel cheated by this team. They really battle the whole way. Wish we had played better in the 1st half. Huge game on Sunday All is not lost. Go St. John’s!

 

[vegasman2000]

Non-travel call loses it. Richmond should have kept it and played for OT.

4 losses by 7 damn points.

Yes. By far the best strategy. 50-50 chance to win in OT. Far less than that on making a three

 

[Silly Donovan]

Lots going against this team today.

Lack of D in first half
Lack of Zuby entire game
No Smith to change tempo
Lack of three point d on last possession
Lack of Luis in first half
Three careless possessions by Kadary in second half….. oh well

 

[mjmaherjr]

Nova hit some big shots. You aren't going to win every game

That being said we absolutely win Sunday

 

[SJU2000alum15]

Can’t win them all hopefully get Smith back and take Sundays game!

 

[MJDinkins]

I want Villanova in the Big East Tournament.

 

[dk423]

Tough loss. Didn’t see first half. What happened with Zuby tonight? Or RJ first half? Lefty over Glover? Was glover that bad?

I thought we’d win but seems like we didn’t bring the energy. Some bad offensive rebounds by nova cost us at the end.

Gotta beat Creighton. I want the season title. 3-1 against those four teams is great.

 

[espken]

Nova wins 73-71
Took 3 crazy 3s to beat us
On to Sunday vs Creighton

 

[paultzman]

 

[Shannon]

Not the best play there

Nova was the better team tonight

maybe Nova's D had something to do with it. Lots of seconds guesses and should of's.

 

[carmineabbatiello]

2 whole games of evidence now that there is not much separating us and the cats. This Kyle Neptune is quite a good coach.

We played great. Couldn't ask for more.
