Title: FINAL FOUR
Post by: Catch Prothro on April 02, 2016, 05:35:38 PM
Villanova playing Oklahoma right now.  These are two hot, talented, fired up teams.  But after week 1, I've been big on Villanova, just wish I'd picked them.  They have shooters and an athletic big.  It's a brutal combination.

Villanova currently leading OK by 9, 26-17, still early in the game.  I don't expect OK to win, they had overrated Oregon in their bracket, whereas Villanova went through Miami then Kansas to get here.

Now 11 point lead, 28-17.

Nova is just dismantling OU. Sooners are shooting way to quick I think, and Nova has a much better half court offense. Nova now up 69-41.  :o

I thought Villanova from the beginning of the year would be the NC. I think if you go back to the first of the year and look at one of my posts I picked them at that time to be in the big dance and in the NCG. They have a coach i wish we would have gotten at one time. RTR!

Yeah, I think Nova is going to be favored in the NC game. UNC and the Cuse are not fielding their strongest teams, and Nova just looked so tough tonight.

At least, OU now has the distinction of being the first school to get blown out of the Final Four in both football and basketball.

Well that person is Paul Finebaum. His entire life centers around an awful radio show, filled with commentary that makes no sense, and "hot takes" that border on the absurd. I think I can speak for everyone and confidently state that "Paul Finebaum Has No Friends."

Win or lose, I think Roy Williams of UNC retires after this game.

I don't know about Roy retiring but he has done a great job of getting them to the NCG. I think Villanova will retire UNC. I have thought after the first game I saw them play they was the team to beat this year. RTR!

Be sure to look closely at UNC Coach Williams tonight. He has not looked good all year. He's only 65 but he looks rough to me. Anyone else notice this?

He's had spells where he briefly passes out. He had his last one about a month ago.

UNC is relentless under the basket & Villanova is quick & fluid. Very interesting contrast. Nova 14-12.

Nova leading in the paint with 22 points to 16 for UNC. Wow.  44-44 all.

Didn't stay up to watch it all, but saw the replay. Looks like it was a hack of a finish. Congrats to Villanova and to Bandit for winning the bracket challenge. E-cred for him!

Yes, e-cred to bandit.  He was the only one to pick Nova to win it all.  And Nova had the most difficult bracket.   :worship: :worship: :worship:

Box score for the game is somewhat deceptive until you review it in its entirety. Overall, UNC led in every major category except two, FT shooting & FG percentage.


FT Shooting:  Nova 13/17  76.5%,  UNC 9/13   69.2%  plus 4 points for Nova
FG Shooting   Nova 28/48  58.2%   UNC 27/63 42.9%  UNC took 15 more shots

Total Rebounds: Nova 23  UNC 36
Offensive Rebounds: Nova 2  UNC 16
Defensive Rebounds:  Nova 21  UNC 20
