Can someone tell BWW no one wants OT on the Miami (NTM) - Ohio Game currently showing and tied at 21? Thanks

Villanova is awfully grabby. Close to fouling a lot to my relatively untrained eye

Our defense seems to be very good as long as no one gets lost. A lot better than last year

I think that's a simple product of having Irvin and not Stauskas.

Obviously Stauskas is the better basketball player, but when it comes to team defense, having Irvin provides the better help.

I guess it is somwhat expected that freshman get lost sometimes.

Having Jordan Morgan directing the offense would be really nice.

But we've got to adjust...Louisville played like that in the NC Game, all 3 teams we played in the tournament last year played just like this. Texas, Tennessee and UK...Villanova is right there with those in terms of physical play.

Refs aren't going to call everything.

We usually can outshoot and outhustle teams (as we won 2 of those 4 examples and hung in with the 2 losses), but it would be nice to get a rebound every now and again.

I simultaneausly love that Coach B is giving everyone playing time and wish he'd stick with more proven folks.

LeVert 2 for 3, let's hope he's got his shot tonight -- we're going to need it.

I know it's been said but minus our freshman lapses, we seem better defensively so far this year

A 2nd backcourt violation? I can't say I've seen more than 5 of those ever (where a pass misses). And Nova takes 2 in like 5 minutes? Impressive
