To not be able to pound Nova inside really was terrible, they had so many mismatches and a good entry pass would have led to an easy basket or a foul. Give Nova credit for what they did in fronting the big guys but for Williams to not adjust to that really was amazing.

I think they will absolutely be a top 5 team next year. Spellman is 6'9" 275 and Reynolds will be a solid rugged back-up big too. As Calvin mentioned, Eric Paschall from Fordham sat this year and will be redshirt Soph next year. He was the A-10 Freshman of the year before leaving Fordham because of a coaching change. He picked Villanova over Florida and Kansas so he was a big time get. Brunson improving and having the ball more with Arc graduating could be huge too. What a fun team to watch this year and they could be elite next year.

...
ps. pacino, totally support your right to hate the matchup too much to enjoy it and to say so. i would be the same about the mets winning the series, no matter how transended the play and no matter who they played or in what year. some hatreds can't be transcended by anything of this world while simultaneously too petty for divone redeption. thats part of being human.

Really? Interesting. I'm trying to see what other teams are FF contenders other than Duke/Kentucky and maybe Arizona
