Mates,

XM
that is great.
GO BLUE!!
What's nova?
Nuttin'. Wha's nova wit you?
Go Blue!
that's nova your business
Go Blue! We're going to win this time, in a tough hard fought game.
Nervous but happy that we and Purdue (a program I respect) are the last two B1G teams standing. As Charles just said, we playing with house money. Go Blue!
Been feeling pretty chill all day about this, but now the nerves are starting... let's go!
LFG! Come out and dominate Caleb is due to be on
LETS GO!! Just hope we play well.
why is jim jackson, a buckeye, our color guy tonight?
At least it’s not Raftery
Whaaaat? Bill's the best!
Go blue - shock the world!! 🏀
Coach Howard told them to "Empty The Tank" in the pregame speech. Indeed!
Nerves on both teams
Pass!
If Villanova keeps digging in on HD while fronting the post, that baseline cut may be open more…
Holy sh*t, that's alot of empty seats.
Shot clock D!
Whew! Won't be an 0-fer night for Caleb!
Doubling hard - pass it out Hunter!
Hunter getting hammered down low.
Another baseline cut feed via HD!
3 turnovers so far. Settle
Solid start - let’s do this!
was wondering if you were going to be 'san antonio pete' given your excellent attendance last weekend.
Nova looks so crisp in their sets
They do this half-court game better then we do, we need to run
Diabate needs to work on his hands. He’s pretty turnover prone.
Does he have small hands!?
V is isolating Dickinson on the outside and then driving to the basket. Unlike TN game, Diabate not under the basket to defend.
Hunter already has one foul, as well. May want to play a little zone.
Is the B1G really doing so poorly? They had 13% of the teams in the tourney and currently have 12.5% of the teams still alive. A Michigan win guarantees 12.5% in the next round.
No offense to Jackson but he sure sounds subdued.
we're getting the looks we want, dickinson missing some close-in left hand baby hooks. that will pass.
Maybe TWill gets a early look.
If it's going to be a game of exchanging long half-court sets, Hunter is going to have to dominate for us to win. Villanova is going to take care of the ball better and probably shoot better. Diabate has butter fingers early. Their bigs move well enough to switch. It's going to be a struggle.
Diabate has had butter fingers all damn year.
So far he’s missed a couple easy bunnies and is getting cooked on D. Nova hitting 3s too.
Why play Johns at all ?
Please take Johns out
John’s targeted twice in that possession
Game might get away from them here.
Is that sideline reporter wearing a bathrobe?
I like Moussa, but he shouldn't be option 1 on the offensive end.
Who do you suggest? With Hunter sitting, nobody can get their own against a sound defensive team. It's probably a Diabate post touch or a shot clock chuck.
Danger zone
Going terribly. Too many empty trips against a team like this.
