Yeah, Villanova is far better than Kansas but it's like we weren't even prepared to counter their strengths.
Yeah, sure, this torrid shooting is the coach's fault. Absolutely brilliant. can't you just acknowledge the other team is playing at an absurd level right now. [Reply]

I was under the assumption he wasn't playing because we needed a rebounder on the court in all of those games. If it is something else, it makes no sense to me. He'd be perfect for this game and yet he's playing a guy in Udoka who can't move his feet quick enough to guard anybody on the floor. [Reply]

Show them to me! You're so full of shit right now. This volume and accuracy? They don't exist, that's why. You're just pulling shit out of your ass. [Reply]

Villanova is a terrific team playing a great game but that doesn't mean that Self hasn't been enormously outcoached tonight. They are a volume three point shooting team and we've done absolutely nothing to take that away and he has even made it easier for them by leaving in Azubuike who can't guard their bigs (which BTW I warned you about before the game).

Some of it is on KU. We were crawling back into it and then they got 3 straight possessions puking up offensive rebounds and they pushed it to 20. Fucking murdered the momentum. [Reply]

Honestly the worst thing about this thread is KC being wrong every single game in the tournament and having an emberassing knowledge of basketball and now trolling this thread "See guys! Im so smart it's just so obvious I knew Nova would shot 60 3s and make 30 and it's all so obvious it's so easy I don't get why every coach doesn't do it". [Reply]

Show what? Some 90s Duke or Kansas team from the 90s going 3 for 6 from three in a half? :-)
This is ridiculous. The point was that the game is evolving and that Villanova's success is predominantly about volume, not percentage. [Reply]

Reaching the final four is quite the accomplishment, especially for this team. I could only imagine the shit we would hear if they went out in the first round. No I don't prefer they get blowed out, but they (Villanova) are playing out of their mind, it happens. [Reply]
