Our defense has been great. Xavier Simpson has been like flypaper on their best player Brunson. But, Villanova has so many weapons that they are going put points on the board and we are not a high powered offensive team. Total reversal to Beilein's teams of the past which were great on O but played marginal defense. Nova is outstanding on both ends of the court.
Great run Bobda. You guys have nothing to hang your heads over. Nova has won 2 titles in 3 seasons for a reason. They are absolutely loaded. This year's tournament was a lot of fun.
Thanks Corey. We were picked to finish 5th in the BT so making it to the finals was great run. Nova is on a different level and overwhelmed us.
Just too much Nova for UM tonight, 6th man comes off the bench for the Naismith player of the year and oh yeah puts up 30 points. How do you handle that kind of depth. Great year though for U nothing to hang their heads about, I don't think any college team could have handled Nova tonight. They are very well coached, they have a talented and deep roster. As long as Bielein is your coach you guys will have excellent teams.
Nova certainly played well and deserved the win. Michigan hung tough in most of the first half, but it was all Nove in the second half.
It seemed to me toward the end of the 1st half that Nova's frenetic pace up and down the court was tiring Michigan. The game announcers commented more than once that Wagner needed a blow.
Way too early 2019 Basketball poll has #1 KU, #2 Duke, #3 "Nova, #4 Kentucky and #5 Auburn. My team's (Texas and ND) didn't make the list. http://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/22966716/college-basketball-way-too-early-top-25-rankings-2018-19
Interesting fact. The largest revenue producer in the BIG for men's basketball is Indiana. It's not even close. https://www.indystar.com/story/spor...g-our-program-doesnt-want-anything/485151002/
Very surprised at those numbers. I knew IU fans were serious about basketball but I would have thought recent struggles might have impacted their revenue....but I guess not.
Terry and Don, I also was surprised, even shocked. On the other hand, I am confident IU is at or near the bottom of the league in FB revenues.
