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

And we still only lost by two. Bench gave us nothing, hopefully we get Smith back by Sunday and start another winning streak.

 

[MugCostanza]

Hate that we lost when shooting so well relatively speaking.

Don’t feel too bad about it given we weren’t winning out, didn’t play well and still had a shot to win it at the end.

Guarantee Rick utters “We really missed Deivon tonight” within the first 30 seconds of his presser

 

[SJU2000alum15]

2 points and 4 rebounds by Zuby just non existent

 

[RedStormNC]

I want Villanova in the Big East Tournament.

I don't... I don't think k our d matches up to well to their style of ball movement and getting to rim

 

[Spocky Ramone]

Not used to losing.

And not used to losing games and going out of my mind because it was a must, uh, nvm…

 

[kranmars]

Not used to losing.

Don’t worry. It will not happen again any time soon.

 

[Amaseinyourface]

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

Well you’ve gotta score the 2 first, can’t just skip right to OT .

I don’t think it’s a bad shot. I think he was more open than he thought once the defender slipped and double clutched it. I would have preferred a shot at the rim, but not second guessing a good look that would have won it.

 

[rehobie]

Worst call in bball is when offensive player jumps into a defender and creates a bogus foul call.

 

[Silly Donovan]

Wilcher misses every shot in second half but one and you let him take the game winner?? DUMB Kadary or Luis for the tie better strategy.

 

[Mean Gene]

We were due for a poor performance and we still almost won. Nova player travelled with 15 seconds left.he shuffled his feet. On to Creighton. We beat them we win the conference. Need Smith back though.

 

[ptc666]

i don't either. they are big and physical; can play through our defense. we lost a bit of our athletic edge against them.

 

[dougandy]

37 3's....Ridiculous not our strength

 

[espken]

10 game winning streak snapped. We were overdue for a loss. Ranked teams have been dropping like flies. We are no exception

 

[RipDumaine 132]

Thought if they were going for win it would be Scott...oh well...played bad still could've won..wakeup call on to The next win streak

Would have went to basket any way possible

 

[fordham96]

Give Villanova credit they made a bunch of HUGE 3s. And they needed all of them. Those 2 deep 3s by Dixon and then the one by Perkins obviously.

Neither team wanted to let go of the rope.

SJU's defense at times was not up to their standards.

Streak is over. Start a new one on Sunday.

 

[barbs20]

Great win streak, we were going to lose eventually, rather lose this one and beat Creighton than other way around.

 

[SLYFOXX1968]

Kr is slow bringing the ball up . Needed a faster entry onto front Court and why not drive to hoop ?

If RP drew that up . Poor choice to have to take a 3 .

Drive to hoop get a chance and foul . Why not ?

It was nice to be in top 10.

Now , for Sunday . How do we respond

 

[paultzman]

No excuse, but please get Smith a new neck by Saturday. We really need his on ball D, speed and rebounding off bench

Just stop. That’s nonsense. He just hit a three in the prior possession.
